Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is procuring the design, supply and installation of a mobile classroom for Oakdale Primary School in Peterborough. The requirement covers the complete delivery of a school building, including design responsibility, supply of the classroom unit and installation at the school. This is a construction works opportunity for contractors able to provide a coordinated, end-to-end solution rather than a supply-only service. The council is the buying organisation and the work will be delivered in Peterborough, United Kingdom. The requirement is intended to provide additional or replacement teaching accommodation at the primary school. Businesses specialising in modular classrooms, temporary or permanent school buildings, construction, building design and installation may find the scope relevant, particularly where they can manage the full project from design through to completed installation.

The process has reached tender: Peterborough City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot and electronic bid submission is allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 16:00, and offers by 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 5 September 2026 to 4 February 2027. The estimated value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT. The published evaluation information requires bids to achieve a minimum quality threshold of 65%; bids meeting that threshold are then ranked by price from lowest to highest, with the lowest-priced tender successful. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a single award opportunity rather than a multi-lot framework.

This opportunity suits a contractor that can take responsibility for the full delivery of a mobile classroom, combining building design, modular or mobile classroom manufacture or supply, site installation and construction coordination. Relevant suppliers are likely to include modular building specialists, school construction contractors, design-and-build firms and companies with experience installing educational accommodation. The requirement favours businesses able to demonstrate dependable project management, technical design capability, safe installation practices and the capacity to coordinate several workstreams through to completion. Experience of working on school sites or delivering education buildings would help suppliers understand operational, safety and stakeholder requirements. The procurement is marked as suitable for SMEs and participation is reserved by location for organisations in the United Kingdom, making it accessible to appropriately sized UK-based businesses with the necessary resources and experience.
