UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council commissioned construction of an external area for the new special educational needs (SEN) base at Westover Green School. The work is classified as school construction, but the available scope is limited to the external area; no more detailed work breakdown is described. The school is in Somerset, in the Taunton area. This is a single package of construction work for the council, rather than a wider school-building programme. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to deliver external construction works associated with a school site and a new SEN facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Adrian Morris & Partners. Somerset Council used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 30 October to 20 November 2026. Its value is £39,960 excluding VAT (£47,952 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the external works at Westover Green School. The published procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the award basis beyond the direct, non-competitive route is not available to report.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to show that they can construct or improve external areas at school sites, coordinating work with a new special educational needs facility. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that the package was suited to a smaller business rather than necessarily requiring the resources of a major construction firm. The scope points to a focused school-site works capability; the contract period indicates a short delivery assignment. Businesses with relevant external construction experience and the capacity to complete a contained project for a local authority would be best placed to compete when Somerset Council next has a comparable need.
