UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured construction works to create a base for a special educational needs (SEN) unit at Westover Green. The requirement falls within construction of education and research buildings (CPV 45214000). It is a building works opportunity for a contractor able to carry out the construction activity needed to establish an SEN teaching or support facility. The buying organisation is Somerset Council, a sub-central public authority based in Taunton. The award records delivery in the United Kingdom, while the named supplier is also based in Taunton. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the full Westover Green construction requirement, rather than separate packages for different trades or workstreams.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to QUBE CONSTRUCT LTD. Somerset Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award was made on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The contract is active. One supplier was selected for the single lot, covering the construction works for the SEN unit base. The available outcome shows a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the requirement was evaluated through the council’s below-threshold, non-competitive procurement route.

This award is relevant to small and medium-sized construction businesses with experience delivering building works for education settings, particularly projects creating or adapting specialist facilities such as SEN accommodation. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to manage a self-contained construction package, coordinate site activities and trades, and deliver a completed education-related building element within a short programme. Local presence may be commercially useful: both the council and the appointed SME are based in Taunton, indicating that a nearby contractor can satisfy this type of requirement. The procurement also shows that Somerset Council uses direct awards for some below-threshold construction needs, making supplier visibility, relevant local experience and a clear ability to deliver small building projects important.
