This tender falls under the "works" industry category, specifically focusing on construction work for school buildings, with a procurement value of £19,234,112.58. The location of works includes various regions across the United Kingdom, such as the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and several others spanning from London to the South West. The procurement method employed was selective, via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the initial tender period concluding on 9th December 2025. The award stage has been completed, with the contract period set from 16th December 2025 to 13th April 2028.
