Temporary and semi-permanent buildings

What it offers

• schools can either hire (Lot 1) or purchase (Lot 2) a wide range of temporary and semi-permanent buildings — including modular classrooms, cabins, containers, and marquees giving flexibility to match short-term needs or longer-term plans

• end-to-end support is included across both Lots, covering design, project management, installation, and ongoing maintenance, so schools can have buildings, including those built to SEND requirements, delivered and managed without sourcing these services separately

• buying buildings through Lot 2 will give access to additional services such as onsite audits, asset recycling, and secure destruction, helping manage the full lifecycle of the buildings
