## Summary

Warwickshire County Council has concluded an open procurement process under the Procurement Act for the construction of Upper Lighthorne Primary School, a project involving the design and build of a 2FE (also accommodating works for a 3FE) primary school. The procurement, reaching its award stage as of 30th July 2026, resulted in the contract being awarded to Interclass Public Limited Company, with the contract starting on 12th August 2026 and anticipated to run until 24th February 2028. The process involved several tenderers, including both SMEs and larger firms, with the primary activity classified under primary school construction work (CPV: 45214210).

The involvement of SMEs such as Interclass reflects a supportive environment for smaller entities to compete alongside larger corporations. Innovative firms with expertise in sustainable designs and efficient project delivery might particularly excel by aligning with the council’s objectives for high-quality, cost-effective public infrastructure projects.
