UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured the design and construction of a two-storey modular classroom block for Ifield School, a special educational needs (SEN) school. The building comprises eight classrooms, staff rooms and associated ancillary accommodation. The works also cover supporting infrastructure: additional car parking, replacement playground and hard landscaping, and a new access route. The procurement is construction work, with delivery in Kent. The scope combines a specialist education building with external and access works, so it spans both building construction and site infrastructure rather than a standalone supply of modular units.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WW Martin Ltd. Kent County Council used a below-threshold route; the published method detail does not identify a specific procedure. The award is active, and the contract is active. It was signed on 2 October 2026, with a contract period from 5 October 2026 to 25 June 2027. The contract value is £4,416,112.80 excluding VAT and £5,299,335.36 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, covering the full school expansion works. The award information does not state evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

For contractors competing for comparable Kent County Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for integrated design-and-build delivery of modular SEN school accommodation, including classrooms and staff facilities, alongside car parking, playground and landscaping works, and access infrastructure. A credible supplier would need to coordinate the building and external works as one project, with suitable construction capacity and experience delivering specialist school facilities. The combination of modular construction, education accommodation and site infrastructure favours firms able to manage design, construction and interfaces across the whole site scope. WW Martin Ltd is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was selected for this substantial, multi-element works package.
