UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works to adapt access at New Ash Green Primary School in Longfield, Kent. The requirement covers siteworks and physical access adaptations to the school premises, intended to improve accessibility at the site. Kent County Council is the public authority and buyer. The work is associated with the school site rather than a wider county-wide service, so businesses should be able to undertake construction activity at, or directly support works to, an occupied or operational primary-school premises. The procurement is categorised as works, with the related siteworks classification covering preparation and construction activity. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and concerns one named school location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure described as an unknown method, with a waiver reference, rather than an open competition. One lot was awarded to SKANSKA CONSTRUCTION UK LIMITED. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 1 October 2026. Its value is £130,000 excluding VAT and £156,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome shows a single supplier for the access works; no separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are recorded. This was a below-threshold requirement under the relevant UK legal basis.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Kent County Council for school access adaptations delivered through construction siteworks. A credible future supplier would need practical experience planning and carrying out access-related building works in an education setting, with the site management, workforce and subcontractor coordination needed to complete a short, focused project. Relevant capability may include adapting entrances, routes or other physical features so that school premises are more accessible, while managing safety, disruption and coordination with the council or school. The selected supplier was a construction company recorded as an SME, indicating that a specialist or regional contractor with suitable delivery capacity could be relevant when comparable requirements return. Experience of public-sector compliance and clear evidence of completed access works would strengthen credibility.
