Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured refurbishment works for Archbishop School, described as “Mobile Refurbishment”. The requirement falls within the construction and building-renovation sector and covers refurbishment work rather than the supply of goods or standalone professional services. The council is the buying organisation. The named requirement is tied to Archbishop School, but the procurement data does not give a town or other delivery place for the school. The contract was awarded to Redec Limited, an SME based in Sevington, Ashford, Kent. Businesses assessing this opportunity should therefore be able to undertake school refurbishment works and manage delivery for a local-authority education setting, with the detailed technical scope determining the precise trades, materials and site arrangements required.

This procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and was arranged as one completed lot. Redec Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and ran from 1 June 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value was £425,471.80 excluding VAT, or £510,566.16 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active. The available procurement data does not state an award date or an evaluation basis, such as price, quality or a weighted combination. The recorded legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023.

For a competitor, this procurement is evidence that Kent County Council buys substantial, discrete refurbishment packages for schools through below-threshold routes. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a business operating at this scale rather than necessarily by a national contractor. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in building refurbishment, the capacity to manage a complete school-based works package, and appropriate arrangements for site management, health and safety, sequencing and coordination with an education setting. Relevant experience should show successful delivery of comparable refurbishment works for public-sector or school clients. Firms that can provide reliable project management, qualified trades and supply-chain control would be well placed when this buyer next needs similar work.
