## Summary

Kent County Council commissioned refurbishment works at The Downs CofE Primary School in Kent. The project converts the existing Blossoms Children’s Centre outbuilding on the school site into a 14-pupil classroom base for Special Resource Provision and special educational needs. The scope includes internal refurbishment and opening-up works, together with external works to create pathways and fenced areas. This is a school building and accessibility-related construction requirement, suited to contractors undertaking refurbishment, alteration and associated external works in an educational setting. The procurement covers works rather than goods or consultancy services, with the completed requirement delivered at the school site in Kent.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Overbury Estates (Kent) Limited. The award was active and the contract was signed on 25 May 2026. The contract period ran from 25 May 2026 to 29 July 2026. Its value was £154,023.40 excluding VAT, or £184,828.08 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition procedure, with the selected supplier responsible for the refurbishment works at the school. The process is recorded as complete, while the contract itself is recorded as active. No separate award or contract values apply to other lots or suppliers.

This procurement indicates demand from Kent County Council for small-scale education-sector refurbishment delivered by a capable building contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience converting existing school or community buildings, carrying out internal alterations and opening-up works, and coordinating construction around specialist educational needs. Relevant capability also includes forming external pathways, installing fencing and completing associated site works safely and to a suitable standard. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was within the reach of a smaller established contractor rather than only a major construction group. Local knowledge of Kent schools, reliable project delivery and experience with public-sector construction processes would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
