Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council commissioned the design and construction of an extension to Park Mains High School in Erskine. The scheme combines a three-storey teaching annex, a two-storey physical education annex and a single-storey courtyard infill for dining, alongside substantial alterations to existing school space. External works include a covered courtyard dining area, changes to the bus drop-off area to accommodate more buses and additional car parking. The new buildings and courtyard extension cover approximately 4,330 m², with alterations to around 1,755 m² of existing floor space. This is a school construction and refurbishment project (CPV 45214200), delivered at Park Mains High School, Barrhill Road, Erskine.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Galliford Try Construction Limited, trading as Morrison Construction. The contract is active and was signed on 25 March 2026, at a value of £32 million. The contract period is 1,440 days. Renfrewshire Council used a restricted procedure, with up to five candidates progressing to the second stage. Three bids were received. Evaluation weighted technical questions at 70% and price at 30%; variants were not permitted. Selection requirements were set out in the procurement documents. The contract includes performance conditions covering fair working practices and community benefits.

The award demonstrates demand from Renfrewshire Council for a principal contractor able to deliver a complex secondary-school expansion while coordinating new-build construction, internal refurbishment and live-site external works. A credible competitor would need proven capacity to design and build multiple school buildings and integrate them with existing teaching, dining, kitchen and physical education facilities. Experience managing significant alterations within an operational school environment, alongside bus access, parking and covered dining works, would be commercially relevant. The evaluation placed greater weight on technical responses than price, so evidence of design quality, construction planning and delivery capability would matter alongside a competitive cost proposal. The successful contractor was a large construction business; bidders also had to identify the staff assigned to the work. Fair working practices and community benefits formed part of the contract’s performance conditions.
