Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured school construction works under the Haygrove School PCSA requirement. The stated scope is school construction, although the procurement is categorised as services. Delivery covered England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is therefore relevant to construction contractors and specialist firms able to deliver education-sector building work across multiple English regions. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, so suppliers with experience working for central government or public bodies may be well placed to understand its delivery, assurance and compliance expectations. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as suitable.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd on 5 June 2026 for £3,199,905.71. The contract period runs from 5 June 2026 to 22 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 5pm. The buyer was the Department for Education, and the tender status is complete. This outcome indicates that the requirement was competed among suppliers able to access and meet the relevant framework arrangements, rather than through an unrestricted open tender. The award value and dates describe this individual requirement and should not be treated as a wider programme or combined value for school construction work.

For a supplier assessing future Department for Education opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for substantial school construction delivery through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need the capability to manage education-sector construction works, coordinate delivery across the relevant English market and operate within public-sector framework procedures. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller construction businesses may be able to compete where they have the required technical delivery capacity, project management controls and evidence of comparable completed work. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate reliable mobilisation, safe construction practices, quality assurance, programme control and the ability to meet the Department for Education’s requirements for school environments. Framework access and strong public-sector performance evidence would also be important.
