UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned works at The Wyvern School in Ashford, specifically the MASH 6th Form/Ashford MASH site. The requirement was to renew wooden decking with composite decking in two adjacent areas. This is a construction and refurbishment opportunity focused on external decking installation, with associated carpentry installation work (CPV 45422000) and refurbishment work. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the procurement. The work concerns improvements to existing school premises rather than a new build, and would suit contractors delivering practical refurbishment works in an occupied or operational education setting. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering both adjacent decking areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to SKANSKA CONSTRUCTION UK LIMITED. The award was made on 4 August 2026, when the contract was also signed. The active contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £70,773.88 excluding tax, or £84,928.66 including tax. The tender was below threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and had one completed lot covering the decking works. The award was active and related to the full single-lot requirement. The published outcome identifies Skanska as the selected supplier for the composite decking renewal at The Wyvern School.

This procurement demonstrates Kent County Council’s demand for specialist external refurbishment at school premises, combining removal or renewal of existing wooden decking with installation of composite decking across adjacent areas. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical experience in carpentry installation, refurbishment and decking replacement, together with the workforce, tools and site management needed to complete compact construction packages efficiently. Familiarity with composite decking materials, preparation of existing structures and finishing work would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also benefit from understanding how to plan safe work around education premises and coordinate activity across adjoining areas. The awarded supplier’s profile indicates that a capable established construction business can compete for this type of requirement.
