Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is procuring the main construction works for the expansion of Keresley Grange Primary School in Coventry. The project covers new-build and refurbishment works, including six classrooms, an assembly hall and dining space, two small-group rooms, staff and administration areas, pupil and staff toilets, storage, kitchen preparation facilities and plant-room space. Existing school accommodation will also be refurbished to provide eight full-sized classrooms and associated areas. This is a construction works contract, involving delivery and refurbishment at the school site. The requirement will suit businesses able to coordinate a substantial education-building project while working across both new and existing school facilities.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a selective Competitive Flexible Procedure, comprising a preliminary selection questionnaire and invitation to tender, with negotiation included. Expressions of interest were due by 27 August 2026 at 14:00. The estimated value is £8.3 million excluding VAT, or £9.96 million including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 February 2027 to 15 February 2029, with the award decision period ending on 7 January 2027. Coventry City Council will assess submissions on quality, weighted at 60%, and cost, weighted at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed and bids must be in English.

This opportunity is suited to established construction contractors with the capability to deliver new primary-school accommodation alongside a complex refurbishment of existing educational space. Relevant strengths include managing classroom, assembly, dining, welfare, administration, storage, kitchen-preparation and plant-room construction, together with the coordination of associated building services and internal works. Suppliers should be able to manage multiple work areas within one school expansion programme and deliver a complete construction package rather than a single specialist element. Experience of working in or around operational education environments would be commercially relevant, particularly where the contractor can coordinate new-build and refurbishment activities safely and efficiently.
