## Summary

Walsall Council has awarded a contract for the expansion of Oakwood School, located in Druids Walk, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The project, titled "WP4072a - Oakwood School Expansion - Druids Walk," falls under the building extension and construction works category (CPV code 45262800). The contract was awarded to Seddon Construction Ltd, with an estimated value of £1,083,322. The work involves demolishing an existing structure and constructing a new single-storey extension for additional classrooms and specialised facilities, ensuring accessibility for non-ambulant pupils. The procurement process, now at the award stage, specifies that the work should be completed by 22 August 2025, with the contract period running from 19 May 2025 to 15 December 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for construction companies, especially those with expertise in educational facility expansions and inclusivity for special educational needs. The project involves comprehensive engineering and mechanical works, requiring proficiency in modern building techniques, and offers a chance to work under the CWM Framework (Lot 1). Although not specifically targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, larger businesses with the capacity to deliver intricate projects within live environments will find this contract beneficial for showcasing their capabilities and securing further government projects.

## Notice

Walsall Council is looking to appoint a single competent contractor on the CWM Framework (Lot 1) to extend the current provision within the school to provide additional classrooms to facilitate non ambulant pupils. Oakwood School is a specialist provision for children aged 3 - 14 years with complex educational needs. The school is commissioned for 238 places (September 2024). The project involves the demolition of the existing outdoor classroom structure to make way for a new single-storey extension. This extension will accommodate two classrooms, WCs, fully equipped hygiene rooms, a medical room, and a link corridor connecting to the main building. Accessibility is prioritised with the inclusion of wider than standard doorsets and two new external access ramps designed to comply with current standards. All rooms will contain H-track ceiling hoists, and the hygiene and medical rooms will feature specialist equipment to meet the diverse needs of pupils, including height-adjustable basins and changing beds. The new build incorporates integrated mechanical and electrical (M&E) services, including the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting, new heating and mechanical ventilation systems, and the necessary extensions to the existing fire and intruder alarm systems to ensure compliance with safety standards. Externally, hard landscaping will be reinstated around the new extension to match the existing finishes. The site will remain a live environment during the works and will remain in use. The works must be completed by 22 August 2025 to ensure the provision is in place for the September 2025 term.
