## Summary

Kent County Council commissioned refurbishment works at Higham Primary School in Kent. The project covered mobile classroom upgrades, including roof refurbishment, heating improvements, repairs to the external wall system, insulation upgrades and replacement doors. This is a building refurbishment and maintenance requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The work was for school accommodation rather than a general construction programme, so relevant suppliers are those able to coordinate several building fabric and building-services upgrades within an existing education setting. Delivery was in Kent, with the selected contractor based in Bexley. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was arranged as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. BUILDING ASSOCIATES LTD was selected for the single lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 12 May 2026, with delivery from 8 June 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £226,977.34 excluding VAT, or £272,372.81 including VAT. The award covered refurbishment works at Higham Primary School. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the published outcome identifies one selected supplier. The contract remains active for the stated delivery period, so the outcome represents a completed procurement decision rather than a current opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand from Kent County Council for contractors able to refurbish mobile or temporary school classrooms while addressing several disciplines in one programme. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability in roofing, heating systems, external wall repairs, insulation and door replacement, together with the management capacity to coordinate those activities on a school site. Experience working around occupied or operational education premises would be commercially relevant where it can be demonstrated, particularly through safe sequencing, site management and coordination with the council or school. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a suitably capable smaller building contractor can compete for this scale of council refurbishment requirement.
