Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has been actively awarding contracts as part of the Older Buildings Research (OBR) project, focusing on minor works in educational settings across various regions in England. Recent contracts include projects in the Midlands and Southern England. These contracts, each valued at £625,000, cover refurbishment work, building surveying services, and asbestos removal services as indicated by their CPV classifications. The procurement method employed was a selective call-off from the RM6088 Construction Works and Associated Services framework. The contract period runs from 23rd June 2025 to 23rd December 2025, with a tender completion status. The Department for Education, located in Coventry, is the primary buying organisation for these contracts.

These tenders present significant opportunities for businesses specialising in refurbishment and construction services, especially those experienced with educational infrastructures. The projects are particularly well-suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as indicated by the suitability criteria. Engaging with these projects can provide growth avenues for firms looking to expand their portfolios in government contracts. Companies capable of offering comprehensive surveying and asbestos removal services alongside general refurbishment will find these contracts particularly advantageous, with potential for further collaboration under the departmental frameworks.
