## Summary

Cheshire East Borough Council commissioned architectural services for the conversion of the former Westfields Council Office building in Sandbach into a new school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work covers RIBA Stages 1 and 2. This is a building-conversion and school-design requirement, rather than a new-build project. The stated delivery location is in the North West of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Haliday Meecham Architects Limited. The award date was 6 May 2026, and the contract period runs from 16 September to 18 December 2026. The awarded value is £49,383. Cheshire East Borough Council used a restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 17 April 2026 at 12 noon. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Cheshire East Borough Council for architectural work on adapting existing public buildings for specialist education. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need architectural capability covering early-stage design and planning, and experience assessing and converting an existing building for SEND school use. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of commission has been delivered by a smaller practice. Firms with relevant conversion and education-sector experience would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires this specific type of service.
