Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has successfully completed the DfE Construction Framework procurement process, initiated to enhance educational infrastructure in the UK, including schools, colleges, and other educational establishments. This construction framework enables not only the Department for Education but also other contracting authorities across England to fulfil their requirements for publicly funded buildings. The procurement method employed was selective, using a restricted procedure above the threshold, with the contract period spanning from 1 December 2021 to 30 November 2025. Key regions designated for service delivery include North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those with experience in public sector projects aimed at educational and community facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability provisions outlined in the framework. The overall contract value is substantial, set at £7 billion, representing a considerable market opportunity for businesses ready to engage in the responses that the framework facilitates.

Notice Title

DfE Construction Framework

Notice Description

DfE procured a new construction framework to support its educational infrastructure delivery programmes and other initiatives. This includes the delivery programme and buildings for schools, academies, university technical colleges, sixth form colleges, further education colleges and other educational facilities. The construction framework may also be used by the other contracting authorities for the purposes of delivering their requirements (given the nature of those contracting authorities) in terms of wider publicly funded buildings in England which may include (but shall not be limited to) health, law, and order, military, civic and other community facilities. For such non-education schemes, framework users shall be permitted to include their own employer's requirements and specification in place of the output specification.
