Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed the award stage of the procurement process for construction work on St Paul's Catholic Primary School, titled "Main Works (con_29215)." The industry category is construction work for school buildings, with a contract valued at £10,649,403. The delivery addresses span multiple regions across 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 was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the contract start on 3rd November 2025, with completion expected by 20th May 2027.

This tender represents significant business growth potential for large construction companies, especially those experienced in educational infrastructure projects. Although specifically awarded to Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd, the wide range of involved regions suggests potential future opportunities for similarly qualified large-scale construction providers seeking to expand within public sector contracts. Small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises may find limited opportunity in this type of large-scale framework agreement. Given the high value of the contract and its comprehensive geographical scope, companies with robust logistical capacities and regional presences are particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurements.
