Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is currently seeking to establish a new Construction Framework to enhance its educational infrastructure delivery programmes across England. The procurement process is classified under the construction industry and is in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 5th February 2021. The total value of this framework is estimated at £7 billion, with the contract period scheduled to run from 26th November 2021 to 25th November 2025. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure above the threshold for such contracts.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and educational facilities. Companies that are well-versed in delivering projects for schools, colleges, and other educational entities will find this framework particularly advantageous. Additionally, firms with capabilities extending to publicly funded buildings in sectors such as health and community facilities may also benefit, as the framework allows for participation from various contracting authorities involved in broader infrastructure projects. This initiative encourages engagement from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), fostering growth within the sector.
