## Summary

The Metropolitan Borough of Bury procured a modular building for Elmsbank SEMH Post-16 College, providing additional accommodation for specialist educational provision. The requirement includes an integrated personal care room within the college facility and is intended to support the school’s operational and educational needs, continuity of service and increasing demand for specialist education. The work is classified as building rental or sale services (CPV 70310000), although the practical requirement is the provision of a modular education building. Delivery is in the Greater Manchester area, at the college facility in Bury. The procurement comprises one requirement and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the borough’s requirements.

This procurement has been awarded through a direct award under the ESPO framework, using its direct-award provisions rather than an open competition. The stated rationale was that the selected modular solution met the school’s technical, educational and delivery requirements, represented value for money and could be secured within the required timescales while reducing procurement administration and cost. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to P MCVEY BUILDING SYSTEMS LTD for £499,800 gross. The award date was 28 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 1 September 2026. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and its recorded status is complete.

This award indicates demand from Bury for rapidly deployable modular accommodation serving specialist education, including facilities that support personal care. A credible future supplier would need to design, supply or provide modular buildings suitable for an operational college environment, meet a defined technical specification, integrate specialist rooms and demonstrate that the solution supports educational delivery. Evidence of delivering comparable modular education or public-sector accommodation projects would be relevant, particularly where continuity of service and tight delivery timescales matter. Suppliers should also understand framework-based public procurement and be able to work through the ESPO route, including its direct-award provisions. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that businesses of similar scale may be capable of meeting this type of requirement.

## Notice

This procurement is being undertaken to provide additional accommodation for the existing Elmsbank SEMH Post-16 College through the provision of a modular building, including an integrated personal care room within the college facility.
