What the buyer says

The contract seeks full modernisation of the upper section of Old Barton Primary School, accessed via Green Street, to become Medina House School to be occupied from 1st September 2027. This includes full replacement heating system, creation of new classrooms, link corridor connecting the existing Cottage building, toilet refurbishments, creation of hygiene room and new catering kitchen. The Authority is seeking prices for two works options: Option A and Option A+B. These options reflect the scope of works that may be delivered, subject to the level of capital investment available. Suppliers are required to submit prices for both Option A and Option A+B as part of their Tender return. Failure to provide prices for both options may result in the Tender being deemed non-compliant. Where the returned prices are within the available budget, the Authority may proceed with Option A+B; where this is not achievable within budget, the Authority may proceed with Option A only. This is a decision of the Authority.
