Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Sir Frederick Gibberd College construction project has been concluded by the Department for Education, acting as the buying organisation. This initiative pertains to the construction industry, specifically focusing on school building works, and encompasses multiple regions throughout the United Kingdom, including London and the Midlands. The procurement reached the award stage, with Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd appointed as the supplier under a selective procurement method, executed via a call-off from a framework agreement. The total contract value amounts to £3,036,099.43, with the award date being 20th April 2026. The contract period commenced on the same date and is set to conclude by 9th March 2027.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale construction companies that are well-versed in managing projects across various UK regions. Given the project's value and scope, it caters primarily to companies able to comply with framework agreements and deliver extensive construction works within specified timeframes. Although this particular award is already in place, similar future opportunities could particularly benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in school infrastructure development, considering the UK government's focus on educational infrastructure enhancement.
