## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned construction of a modular building at Rainbows Nursery, in the SG17 5TQ area. The building uses modular construction and structural insulated panel (SIPs) panels as an alternative to traditional construction. It is to provide toilet facilities, a wet area and a small kitchenette for warming milk and supporting nursery operations. This is a school/nursery building works requirement, rather than a supply-only purchase of a portable building: the appointed contractor is to deliver the building works. The stated purpose is to support the nursery’s day-to-day operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Spacemaker Developments Ltd on 30 September 2026. The recorded award value is £0, so it does not establish a meaningful contract price. The contract period runs from 30 September to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 21 April 2026. The notice identifies the method only as “Other”; it gives no further procedure description. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. No award or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be established from the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Central Bedfordshire Council for a nursery building delivered using modular or SIPs construction, incorporating toilets, a wet area and a small kitchenette. A credible competitor for similar work would need to deliver the building as a complete construction project and show capability in modular building systems or structural insulated panels, together with the associated internal facilities. The requirement combines the building envelope and fit-out needed for nursery use, including facilities that support childcare operations. The council marked the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, signalling that suppliers should assess whether they can meet the buyer’s expectations for this scale and type of works. The award records no useful price benchmark.

## Notice

Central Bedfordshire Council has appointed Spacemaker Developments Ltd to deliver a modular/SIPs panel building at Rainbows Nursery. The building is required in place of a traditional construction method and will include toilet facilities, a wet area, and a small kitchenette for warming milk and supporting nursery operations.
