Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Ellesmere Port Catholic High School construction project, initiated by the Department for Education, has reached the award stage as of 16th January 2026. The project involves construction work for school buildings and covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. A contract, valued at £3,090,709, was awarded to Kier Construction on 7th January 2026. The tender, conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was scheduled to conclude on 31st December 2025 with the contract period running from 7th January to 30th October 2026. The procurement falls under the 'works' category, specifically the industry classification of 'Construction work for school buildings'.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies involved in the construction of educational facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to engage in regional construction projects could find valuable opportunities through similar tenders. Although Kier Construction, a large-scale company, has been awarded the contract, the framework agreement approach provides avenues for other businesses to compete in future tenders. Companies specialising in large-scale construction projects in various regions of the UK, especially those interested in educational infrastructure, would find engagement in such contracts beneficial for expanding their portfolio and geographic reach.
