UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured small construction works for a SEND classroom at Portway School. The requirement falls within primary school construction work and was delivered in Derby. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work relates to a school building environment. The single requirement covered the complete procurement, rather than being divided into multiple described work packages. This opportunity is relevant to contractors experienced in small-scale education construction and adaptations for special educational needs settings. It may also suit firms that undertake building works directly for local authorities and schools, particularly those familiar with working safely and considerately in or around an operating school environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. FENAX DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED FDL CONTRACTORS was awarded the single requirement, with the award active. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its gross value is £45,000. The contract is active. The published information records a waiver for the small works requirement and identifies primary school construction work as the classification. The contracting route therefore involved a direct appointment rather than a competitive tender, and the recorded outcome is a single supplier award for the Portway School works.

This procurement shows Derby City Council buying small-scale primary school construction work for a SEND classroom, using a direct below-threshold route and appointing an SME contractor. Competitors seeking similar council work would need credible capability in small works within education settings, including the practical delivery of classroom construction or adaptation works for special educational needs provision. Relevant experience of working in schools, managing disruption and site safety, and delivering a defined works package would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also understand how to present a reliable local-authority service for lower-value requirements, since this buyer has used a waiver and direct appointment rather than a full competition for this type of work.
