Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the "Wales High School - Main Works" has been completed, with the award being made on 18th December 2025. The Department for Education served as the contracting authority, seeking to fulfil a requirement for school construction works under the CPV classification 45214200. This procurement falls within the construction industry category and spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including London, the East Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The contract, valued at £71,752,966.40, will begin on 26th January 2026 and conclude on 9th February 2029. The procurement method was selective, with suppliers being called off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those capable of delivering large-scale projects in multiple regions of the UK. While the procurement process was selective, it highlights opportunities for companies like BAM Construction Ltd, which was awarded the contract, demonstrating the importance of being part of relevant frameworks to secure such projects. Businesses seeking to expand their portfolios in the education infrastructure sector could benefit from engaging in similar procurement processes. However, the suitability criteria indicate that small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, were not prioritised in this instance.
