Description

Walsall Council is looking to appoint a single competent contractor on the CWM Framework (Lot 1) to extend the current provision within the school to provide additional classrooms to facilitate non ambulant pupils.

Oakwood School is a specialist provision for children aged 3 - 14 years with complex educational needs. The school is commissioned for 238 places (September 2024).

The project involves the demolition of the existing outdoor classroom structure to make way for a new single-storey extension. This extension will accommodate two classrooms, WCs, fully equipped hygiene rooms, a medical room, and a link corridor connecting to the main building. Accessibility is prioritised with the inclusion of wider than standard doorsets and two new external access ramps designed to comply with current standards.

All rooms will contain H-track ceiling hoists, and the hygiene and medical rooms will feature specialist equipment to meet the diverse needs of pupils, including height-adjustable basins and changing beds. The new build incorporates integrated mechanical and electrical (M&E) services, including the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting, new heating and mechanical ventilation systems, and the necessary extensions to the existing fire and intruder alarm systems to ensure compliance with safety standards. Externally, hard landscaping will be reinstated around the new extension to match the existing finishes.

The site will remain a live environment during the works and will remain in use.

The works must be completed by 22 August 2025 to ensure the provision is in place for the September 2025 term.
