Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, administered by the Department for Education, pertained to the significant construction project titled "St Mark’s West Essex Catholic School - Main Works" with a focus on school construction. The process represents the 'Award' stage and involved a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method. The tender, classified under the construction work category (CPV: 45000000), was for a project valued at £46,213,965.32. The procurement covered various UK regions, including London and the South East, with the contract set to run from 29th August 2025 to 4th August 2028. The award was actively confirmed on 29th August 2025, with information published on 18th September 2025.

This award creates substantial business growth opportunities, especially for large construction firms capable of handling extensive school-related projects. Entities like Kier Construction, which was chosen as the supplier, are excellent examples of businesses fitting this profile due to their substantial resources and experience in large-scale works. While the procurement process isn't geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, it represents a lucrative venture for established firms in the construction industry looking to expand their portfolio through public sector collaborations.
