## Summary

Kent County Council procured refurbishment works at Southborough Church of England Primary School, focused on the Infants Block. The scope covered replacing the existing flat roof system and renewing external windows, doors, glazed screen systems and external cladding. It also included fire stopping and compartmentation improvements, asbestos-related works, replacement rainwater goods and canopies, alterations to affected building services, and all internal and external making good needed for completion. This is a building refurbishment and construction opportunity, classified under CPV 45453100. The work is being delivered at the school in Southborough, within Kent County Council’s area. It is a single, completed lot covering the whole project rather than separate specialist packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to INITIAL SYSTEMS LIMITED, an Ashford-based supplier. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with the procedure restricted to invited competitors rather than an open tender. The award is active and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 9 October 2026. Its value is £599,887.40 excluding VAT, or £719,864.88 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, which was completed as part of the award. The published outcome identifies refurbishment works as the awarded category. The contract is below the applicable threshold. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement shows demand from Kent County Council for substantial primary-school refurbishment delivered through a limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to manage coordinated roofing, window, door, glazing, cladding and canopy works in an occupied or operational education setting, alongside fire-stopping, compartmentation, asbestos-related work, rainwater systems, building-services alterations and extensive making good. Relevant construction management capability is important because the requirement combines multiple trades and specialist compliance-sensitive activities in one package. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable programme control, competent subcontractor coordination, safe handling of asbestos-related work, and the ability to deliver compliant fire and compartmentation improvements. The selected supplier was an SME based in Ashford, indicating that a local or regional refurbishment contractor can compete for this scale of council works.
