UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned construction works for Seabrook Primary School in Kent. The project replaces a dilapidated mobile classroom unit with a permanent building providing two classrooms, toilets and ancillary spaces on a like-for-like basis. It also includes a log cabin to replace lost accommodation. The contractor is responsible for providing temporary accommodation for one classroom throughout the construction phase and removing that accommodation when the works are complete. This is a school-building and temporary-accommodation requirement, involving demolition, construction, associated facilities and site logistics. The work is delivered for Seabrook Primary School in Kent, with the buying organisation based in Maidstone.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It was organised as one lot. REDEC LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its value is £847,863.50 excluding VAT, or £1,017,436.20 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route. The award covers the complete school replacement works, including demolition, the new building, temporary classroom accommodation and its removal. The contract is active, while the associated tender process is recorded as complete.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for substantial school construction delivered alongside temporary accommodation and demolition. Competitors suited to comparable work would need to manage a complete building replacement rather than a single trade package, including coordination of classrooms, toilets, ancillary spaces and a temporary teaching facility. Credibility would depend on relevant construction capability, experience working around an operating or affected school environment, reliable project planning and the capacity to provide and remove temporary accommodation as part of the works. The limited-competition route also shows that established suppliers able to meet a defined, below-threshold requirement and engage efficiently with the council may be well placed when similar school-building needs arise.
