## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council commissioned construction work for a new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) unit at Waingels College in Woodley. The requirement is to build the unit at the school; no further detail on its facilities or construction scope is included in the procurement description. This is a building project for education provision, rather than a supply or service contract. The buyer is Wokingham Borough Council, and the work is located at Waingels College in Woodley. The contract covers one lot, with the construction work forming the single identified requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Morris & Blunt Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract is active and was signed on 24 September 2026. Its period runs from 24 September 2026 to 5 March 2027. The contract value is £1,281,119 gross. The procurement was described as below threshold, with the specific procedure details recorded as unknown. The tender was divided into one lot, which is complete. The award data does not state a separate award date or an evaluation basis, so the published outcome confirms the selected contractor and contract terms but not how bids were assessed.

This award shows Wokingham Borough Council buying a school construction project to create a SEND unit at Waingels College in Woodley. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver building works in an operational education setting and demonstrate the capacity to complete a substantial, defined project within a relatively short contract period. Experience constructing or adapting school facilities, coordinating trades and managing delivery against a fixed programme would be relevant capabilities, although these are practical considerations rather than stated selection requirements. Morris & Blunt Limited, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller contractor secured the work. The recorded procurement route was below threshold, but the specific procedure is not identified; the available outcome does not establish any mandatory accreditations or formal qualification criteria.
