Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process, titled "Exeter Maths School - PCSA (con_28886)", centres on the refurbishment of school boarding accommodation. Initiated by the Department for Education, the procurement falls under the industry category for construction work for school buildings (CPV code 45214200). With a budget of £623,082.23, the procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracting process is at the award stage, with key dates including an award publication date of 28th October 2025 and a contract period running from 10th October 2025 to 29th July 2026. The project is to be executed across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, offering opportunities within England's diverse landscapes from London to the North East and South West.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for construction firms with expertise in school facility refurbishment. While the contract has been awarded to Tilbury Douglas, a large-scale supplier, the initial tender process was open to SMEs, highlighting an inclusive opportunity for smaller enterprises to engage, particularly those with capacity to execute large projects, or for businesses looking to establish partnerships with major contractors like Tilbury Douglas. The Department for Education's involvement further enhances the scope for potential future government-led projects, serving as a springboard for businesses aiming to penetrate the lucrative education construction sector.
