Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has successfully completed a procurement process for the main construction works at St Helen's Primary School, part of a framework agreement. This award, valued at £16,157,309, was released on 6th March 2026, with Galliford Try Building Limited selected as the supplier for the project. The contract covers substantial school building works across multiple regions of the United Kingdom, including London, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East, and South West. The procurement method was selective, allowing only pre-qualified suppliers from the framework to bid, with the contract period starting on 28th January 2026 running until 6th October 2028.

This construction tender offers notable opportunities for large-scale contracting firms with experience in educational facility developments to expand their portfolio within the public sector. Companies that can leverage existing framework agreements are particularly well-suited to compete in such processes. The widespread locations and sizeable contract value suggest potential for business growth and establishing long-term relationships with public authorities across England. This contract, though not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, represents a lucrative opportunity for expansion and visibility in constructing school infrastructures.
