Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is seeking a main works contractor for an extension and refurbishment at Holbrooks Primary School in Coventry. The work is classified as construction, specifically school building construction (CPV 45000000). The requirement is for the school site in Coventry and combines an extension with refurbishment works. The council is the buying organisation; the appointed contractor will carry out the building works. This is a single package rather than a set of separately described workstreams, with the school extension and refurbishment forming the overall scope.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The tender submission deadline set by the council was 23 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 31 December 2028. The estimated value is £2.4 million excluding VAT, with a gross value of £2,879,998. There is one lot. Evaluation is based entirely on technical and quality criteria, assessed through responses to the technical criteria in the PSQ. Electronic submission is allowed. The procurement is for construction works and was not reported as cancelled or withdrawn.

This opportunity suits a main works contractor able to deliver primary-school extension and refurbishment construction in Coventry, and to prepare strong technical and quality responses against the criteria in the PSQ. The combined scope calls for capability across building works rather than a single supply item, with delivery over a substantial programme. Contractors with relevant experience of school buildings and the capacity to manage extension and refurbishment works together are likely to be well placed to compete. The evaluation is wholly technical and quality-based, so suppliers should focus their bid on demonstrating how their approach meets the stated technical requirements. The procurement sets no separate price-based evaluation weighting.
