Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council commissioned the design and build of a modular classroom unit for Onthank Primary School on Meiklewood Road, Kilmarnock. The work is a construction project covering modular educational accommodation, rather than the supply of standalone equipment. The requirement included the design of the unit and its construction as an integrated package at the school site. The procurement sits within the modular buildings category, with CPV classification 45214000 for construction work for buildings relating to education and research. Delivery was in Kilmarnock, at Onthank Primary School. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was structured as a single lot for the modular classroom accommodation.

This procurement has been awarded and the lot is complete. East Ayrshire Council used an open procedure through the Scottish Procurement Alliance Modular Buildings Framework (MB3). Portakabin Ltd was selected as the supplier, following one bid, which was submitted electronically; the recorded bidder was not an SME. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £697,990. The stated contract length was eight weeks. Evaluation was undertaken through the framework route and the award covered the complete design-and-build requirement for the modular classroom unit. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award date is recorded, but the selected supplier and signed contract are identified.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from East Ayrshire Council for a single supplier capable of delivering modular school accommodation as a complete design-and-build package. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need practical expertise in designing modular classroom buildings, coordinating construction activity and delivering the finished unit at an operational school site. The requirement favoured a supplier with the capacity to manage a substantial, time-limited construction package rather than provide only components or specialist subcontracted services. Experience of educational buildings and the constraints of working in Kilmarnock or similar school environments would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also understand the Scottish Procurement Alliance Modular Buildings Framework route, since this buyer used that established framework to make the award.
