UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council commissioned construction works for the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) expansion programme at St Day & Carharrack Community School. The requirement is focused on expanding the school to support pupils with SEND; the procurement also classifies the work as including repair and maintenance services. The named project identifies St Day and Carharrack as the school communities served, but the published delivery location is recorded only as being in the United Kingdom, so a more precise worksite location cannot be established from the available details.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cornwall Council used a below-threshold procedure; the specific method is recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to Cygnus Contracting Ltd. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs to 31 December 2026. Its stated value is £353,720.18 excluding VAT, or £424,464.21 including VAT. The award is active, but no separate award date is stated. No evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows Cornwall Council buying construction work to expand school provision for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, with associated repair and maintenance work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver building works in an operating school environment and understand the practical demands of adapting or expanding education facilities for SEND use. The awarded supplier was identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, evidence that a business of that scale was capable of winning this contract. The procurement followed a below-threshold route, but the particular method is unknown. Suppliers with relevant construction delivery experience, suitable project capacity and the ability to coordinate any associated maintenance work would be positioned to compete for this buyer’s specific requirement.
