Issue details

Award of Contract for the replacement of Modular Units at Southwater Infant and Junior Schools, Horsham - Phase 1

The County Council has a statutory duty to provide sufficient school places for all children who need a place.

 

Due to the significant condition and suitability issues the existing modular accommodation at Southwater Infant and Southwater Junior Schools is to be replaced with new accommodation. This will ensure the schools can continue to accommodate the demand for pupil places in the locality. The work has been divided into two elements and tendered as two separate contracts:-

 

Phase 1 – The Supply and Installation of Modular Units

Phase 2 – Enabling Works

 

In January 2020 the Cabinet Member for Education and Skills approved the allocation of additional monies from Section 106 funds to enable this replacement work to take place (decision reference ES07(19/20)).  As part of this decision the Cabinet Member also approved the delegation of authority to the Director or Property and Assets to award the contract for the works.

A procurement process has taken place and, following full financial and technical evaluation, based on a 70% cost and 30% quality evaluation approach, this report recommends the contract for Phase 1: The Supply and Installation of the Modular Units at Southwater Infant and Junior schools be awarded to Integra Buildings Ltd.
