Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council commissioned professional consultancy services for the conversion and full refurbishment of Old Barton Primary School into Medina House School in Newport, Isle of Wight. The completed scheme is intended to provide three classrooms, internal ancillary spaces and external play space for 36 children. The consultancy covers the project from concept design through spatial coordination, technical design, manufacturing and construction support, to handover. This is an engineering and construction consultancy requirement, suitable for firms providing architectural, engineering, design coordination and project delivery services for education refurbishment projects. The work is associated with the Isle of Wight Council’s school estate and is delivered in the Newport area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was awarded to ERMC LIMITED, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. The contract runs from 2 April 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £87,085 excluding VAT, or £104,502 including VAT. The appointed supplier is providing consultative engineering and construction services. The scope follows RIBA stages two to six: concept design, spatial coordination, technical design, manufacturing and construction, and project handover. The contract relates to the Old Barton conversion for Medina House School and covers the complete consultancy requirement for the refurbishment and adaptation works.

This award demonstrates demand from the Isle of Wight Council for an end-to-end design and construction consultancy supporting the conversion of an existing school into a specialist education setting. Competitors would need credible capability across RIBA stages two to six, including concept development, spatial coordination, technical design, manufacturing and construction support, and handover. Relevant experience in school refurbishment, classroom and ancillary-space planning, external play environments, and projects involving children’s education facilities would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement suits a consultancy able to coordinate design and construction activity across a complete project lifecycle, manage technical information through delivery, and work effectively with a local authority and school stakeholders.
