Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed the procurement process for the main construction works at Ss Mary and John Catholic Primary School. The procurement, under the classification of construction work for school buildings, was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. It was aimed at various regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The tender stage concluded with an award status on 17th December 2025, and the contract period spans from this date until 6th July 2028. The contract, valued at £18,293,615.11, was awarded to Tilbury Douglas, a large-scale business based in the West Midlands. The initial tender stage concluded on 10th December 2025.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale construction projects. Suitable competitors for this type of tender would generally be established companies familiar with government contracts and capable of managing extensive construction works across multiple regions in England. The project's scale and complexity suggest that businesses, with a strong background in public sector projects and school facility construction, can leverage this contract to augment their portfolios and gain further experience in the education sector, even though this process did not favour SMEs or VCSEs specifically.
