Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured one double temporary classroom at Meadowside School, Pool Lane, Woodchurch, Wirral, CH49 5LA. The requirement covered building-related works and temporary modular accommodation, including groundworks, delivery, installation, electrical connection, surface-water and foul-water connections, dismantling, removal and making good after the hire period. The work was for an education setting and involved the complete provision and removal of the temporary classroom facility, rather than a supply-only purchase. The appointed supplier was Portakabin Ltd, a modular building and temporary accommodation provider. This requirement is relevant to businesses providing temporary classrooms, modular buildings, associated civil engineering, site services, utility connections, installation and reinstatement works for schools or other public-sector estates.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Wirral Council used a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the Shared Business Services Modular Building 3 framework, Lot 4 for education modular hire and lease. The award to Portakabin Ltd was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract value is £300,058 excluding any unspecified tax treatment, in GBP. The requirement was assessed on price. The contract covers a 156-week hire period and associated delivery, installation, connections, removal and making-good works. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The tender record shows the single lot as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for temporary classroom accommodation delivered as a managed package. A credible competitor would need to provide modular education buildings, coordinate transport and installation, and carry out compliant groundworks and site reinstatement. Capability in electrical, surface-water and foul-water connections is important, as is the ability to dismantle and remove the accommodation cleanly at the end of the hire. Suppliers should be able to manage a multi-year hire arrangement, work safely within a live school environment and coordinate several construction and facilities disciplines under one contract. Experience delivering similar temporary buildings for councils, schools or education estates, together with dependable mobilisation, maintenance and supply-chain capacity, would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
