Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned works at Oakley School under the project titled “JCT Contract Oakley School Roof Ceiling and Lighting Project”. The requirement covers repair, construction or refurbishment of the school roof, together with ceiling and lighting works. It is a construction project rather than a supply-only or professional services opportunity, and is classified under roof works and other special trade construction works (CPV 45260000). The named buying organisation is Kent County Council. The delivery site is Oakley School. The requirement is relevant to building contractors and specialist trade contractors able to undertake roofing and associated school building works, including ceiling and lighting elements, within a coordinated project environment. The procurement concerns one completed lot and the selected supplier was Initial Systems Limited, an SME based in Headcorn, Ashford, Kent.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Kent County Council used a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. Initial Systems Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 21 September 2026. Its value is £330,249.53 excluding VAT and £396,299.44 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The available information identifies the requirement and the successful supplier, but does not set out a separate award date or an evaluation weighting. The process therefore provides evidence of a small, time-limited council works contract delivered through a below-threshold route, with the award made to a specialist construction supplier for the Oakley School roof, ceiling and lighting project.

This procurement is relevant to contractors with practical capability in roofing and associated specialist construction works, particularly businesses able to combine roof, ceiling and lighting activity within a school refurbishment project. A credible competitor for comparable Kent County Council work would need a track record of delivering building works safely in an occupied or operational education environment, coordinating several trades and managing short, defined programmes. Experience of roof construction or repair, ceiling installation and lighting work would be directly relevant. The award to an SME indicates that this scale of council project can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor, provided it can demonstrate dependable project management, competent site teams, suitable health and safety controls, quality workmanship and the capacity to complete coordinated works for a public-sector client.
