UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council procured backlog maintenance works for four schools: Boscastle Community Primary School, St Wenn School, Stratton Primary School and Whitstone Community Primary School. The scope covers repair and maintenance services and construction work associated with addressing accumulated school maintenance requirements. Work is delivered across the named school sites in Cornwall. This is a public-sector estates and building-maintenance requirement, relevant to contractors able to undertake repair, renewal and construction activities in operational primary-school settings. The buying organisation is Cornwall Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement concerns one grouped requirement covering all four schools rather than separate published requirements for each site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Cygnus Contracting Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 23 June 2026, with a contract period from 23 June 2026 to 1 September 2027. The contract value is £232,534.81 excluding VAT and £279,041.77 including VAT. The published information identifies repair and maintenance services and construction work as the procurement categories. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the available information does not set out detailed scoring criteria. This outcome confirms Cornwall Council’s selected supplier and the agreed contract scale for the grouped school-maintenance requirement.

This award is commercially relevant to building-maintenance and construction contractors serving education estates, particularly firms able to manage a grouped programme across several primary-school sites. The requirement demonstrates demand for planned backlog maintenance rather than a single isolated repair, so credible competitors would need practical capacity to coordinate multiple locations, schedule works around school operations and deliver a range of repair and construction activities. Cygnus Contracting Ltd was identified as an SME supplier, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller business rather than restricted to a major national contractor. Suppliers building a future proposition for Cornwall Council should be able to evidence dependable site delivery, competent maintenance teams, effective project coordination and experience working in occupied school environments.
