Old Barton Primary to Medina House School Internal Alterations and Refurbishment
The contract covers internal alterations and refurbishment to modernise the upper section of Old Barton Primary School, accessed via Green Street, for conversion into Medina House School, which is intended to be occupied from 1 September 2027. The Isle of Wight Council, a local authority responsible for public services and education facilities on the Isle of Wight, requires a full replacement heating system, new classrooms, a link corridor connecting the existing Cottage building, refurbished toilets, a hygiene room and a new catering kitchen. Bidders must provide prices for both Option A and Option A+B, with the final scope dependent on the capital investment available; the Council may award the expanded option or proceed with Option A only. The contract value and formal duration are not specified, although the completed facility is planned for occupation from September 2027. The delivery site is Old Barton Primary School on the Isle of Wight, and the critical compliance requirement is submission of prices for both works options, as omitting either may make the tender non-compliant.
