UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council commissioned construction works to adapt Clifton Primary School for the Danesgate special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) unit. The requirement covers building work at the school in York, supporting the delivery of specialist educational provision. It is a single works requirement rather than a supply or routine service contract. The council is the public-sector buyer and contracting authority. The procurement’s classification is construction work (CPV 45000000). The awarded work is associated with the Clifton Primary site and is intended to provide an adapted setting for Danesgate SEND services. This is relevant to building contractors with experience of school alterations, education premises, or adaptations supporting children with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold route described as “unknown”. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and awarded to TOM WILLOUGHBY LIMITED. The contract is active from 14 September 2026 to 23 October 2026. Its value is £197,535.83 excluding VAT and £237,042.99 including VAT. The award covers construction works for the Clifton Primary adaptation. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the active contract, but gives no detailed weighting or evaluation criteria. The short contract period indicates a defined school adaptation project delivered within approximately six weeks, with the council as the contracting authority.

This outcome signals demand from City of York Council for specialist construction delivery in education settings, particularly adaptations for SEND provision. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to manage building alterations in an operational or recently occupied primary-school environment, coordinate safely with the council and education stakeholders, and complete a focused programme to a fixed handover requirement. Relevant capability would include construction project management, site logistics, statutory compliance, health and safety, quality control and coordination of specialist trades. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a suitably experienced smaller construction business can compete for this scale of council works. Contractors with demonstrable school refurbishment and accessibility or SEND-related adaptation experience would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
