Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was initiated by Kent County Council for the "Seabrook Primary School Mobile Replacement" project. Located in Maidstone, United Kingdom, the tender falls under the construction industry category with a focus on works. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a final award date of 18th July 2026. The procurement method implemented was below the threshold with limited competition, intended for specific supplier engagement. Kent County Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, oversaw the tender with a contract value of £1,017,436.20, covering the demolition of a mobile unit, its replacement, and provision of temporary classroom accommodation. The project concluded on 26th February 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the construction sector, particularly for businesses specialising in educational building projects. Companies that can provide comprehensive construction services, from demolition to new builds, are ideally positioned to compete for similar projects. Given that REDEC LIMITED, an SME, successfully secured this award, other SMEs with expertise in undertaking public works, particularly within the education sector and capable of rapid accommodation solutions, may find opportunities for business expansion through involvement in similar government-led projects.
