The new facility will deliver provision for 64 pupils aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The scheme aims to create a secure, high-quality, and therapeutically informed learning environment designed to support vulnerable pupils and enable staff to deliver specialist SEN provision effectively. Scope of Contractor Appointment: The appointed contractor will: • Participate in a competitive two-stage tender process, commencing with shortlisting of five contractors. • Enter into a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) at the start of RIBA Stage 4: Technical Design, working collaboratively with the client and design team to develop the design, plan construction activities, inform cost development, and support risk mitigation. • Upon successful completion of the PCSA and agreement of contract sum, enter into a JCT Design & Build Contract 2024 for delivery of the construction works. The contractor will be expected to demonstrate: • Proven experience in delivering education project or similar public sector schemes. • Strong capability in pre-construction collaboration, buildability input, and cost planning. • A robust approach to quality, safety, safeguarding, stakeholder coordination, and social value delivery. The initial contract award is made solely for the purpose of entering into a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA). This award does not guarantee progression to the main construction contract. Any decision to proceed to the main construction contract is subject to: - the successful completion and agreement of the PCSA - the Council's determination that it holds the necessary budget for the main contract - the Council's subsequent determination, at its sole discretion, that it is appropriate and in the public interest to enter into the main contract In accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, this approach supports principles of transparency, proportionality, and value for money, while allowing the Council to retain flexibility to decide whether to proceed beyond the PCSA stage. The estimated cost of the main build contract is £11,317,669.67. A further Contract Award Notice will be published following the decision to proceed with the award of the main build contract. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 45000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKD - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £9,500,000 - **Contract Period:** 12/07/2026 to 24/04/2028 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (active) - Supplier(s): **READ CONSTRUCTION HOLDINGS LIMITED** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-20222` - Value: £240,330 (exc.
