II.2.4) Description of the procurement

A contract for the provision of a new school development at Burgess Hill, West Sussex is being tendered by West Sussex County Council (WSCC) / the Employer in accordance with the PCR 2015 Restricted Procedure.

This project is being procured as a single stage design and build contract, WSCC are seeking a fixed price lump sum for the entirety of the works. The Contract will be the JCT Design and Build Form of Contract as amended by the Employer’s Schedule of Amendments (Document 3).

Construction of a new Secondary School, accommodating 900 pupils, to provide high quality education for new and existing residents in the Burgess Hill Brookleigh Development.

Practical completion must be achieved by 30 March 2027 for occupation in September 2027.

As a demonstration of this Council’s Climate Change Pledge, the building aims to achieve Passivhaus certification, reflecting ultra-low carbon emissions in operation, with an acute focus on energy efficiency, insulation, on-site energy generation and no use of fossil fuels in the running of the building. Further to this, the design minimises, as far as practicable, embodied carbon.

One of the main design principles has also been to develop a building that sits sympathetically within the rich natural landscape of the site, which already includes hedgerows, mature oak trees and habitat areas for dormice and bats, which are all being retained and enhanced. The landscape design balances the need for compliant sports pitches, parking and accessible access throughout the school site with sustainable, natural drainage solutions, further tree-planting and inspiring outdoor learning areas.

Inclusion sits at the heart of this design, operating at different scales, from the school’s transport and access strategy, through to the Special Support Centre and wider facilities for special educational needs and disabilities being fully incorporated into the core of the school.
