Decision details

The existing school accommodation at the St Matthews CofE Primary School does not enable the provision of a full statutory educational offer that meets the educational needs of Surrey’s most vulnerable learners; therefore, a new block is required. The school is forecast to accommodate an additional 13 primary aged SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) pupils. The places are planned to be phased in over a period of 3-4 years commencing in September 2023. 

This project therefore will involve the design and construction of a new building adjacent the main school which will provide high quality modern accommodation facilitating the best learning environment for the new cohort of 13 SEND pupils.

Following a compliant tender exercise, it is proposed to award the contract to TG Escapes Ltd. The Contract value is £1,180,500.

It was AGREED that:

1.           To direct award a contract to Prosper and Enterprise Ltd for the provision of three block beds at Bransfield Manor residential home.

Reasons for Decision:

The opportunity to enter into a contract for residential block beds with a Surrey provider is a rarity, and the increase in demand for these placements could result in SCC losing this opportunity to another local authority.

The provider is Ofsted registered and this contract aligns with the corporate goal of securing 80% of children within Surrey boundaries.

Secure more local beds for Surrey’s children at better value for money through

targeted block contracts.
