Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) has recently completed the procurement process for the "DfE Offsite Schools Framework (Incorporating Modular and MMC delivery)", aimed at delivering offsite constructed educational establishments across England. The procurement employed an open procedure method and included two lots: Lot 1 for secondary schools with a gross internal area of 6,000 m² and above, and Lot 2 for primary schools and smaller secondary schemes. The total estimated budget for the framework stands at £3 billion, with the contract period running from 15 January 2020 to 14 January 2024. Key delivery regions encompass the whole of England, including the North East, London, and the South East.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for construction firms, particularly those proficient in modern methods of construction (MMC) and offsite delivery. Companies specialising in the design and construction of educational facilities, including large and small enterprises, are well-positioned to compete as they can participate in mini-competitions or allocations based on performance criteria set by the DfE. Given the anticipated throughput of 15 secondary and 15 primary schemes per year, businesses that can demonstrate innovative construction techniques and efficiency will likely find strong prospects for growth under this framework.

Notice Title

DfE Offsite Schools Framework (Incorporating Modular and MMC delivery).

Notice Description

The Department for Education (DfE) has procured a new offsite construction framework for the design and build of offsite schools and educational establishments to support its educational infrastructure delivery programmes and other initiatives. The DfE offsite framework is being established to cultivate innovation and modernise the industry by increasing the adoption of MMC (modern methods of construction) offsite production in the market, in line with the government's commitment to MMC and its presumption in favour of offsite construction by 2019 across suitable capital programmes, where it represents best value for money. The DfE has appointed 5 contractors to each Lot. Lot 1 is intended for the delivery of offsite built Secondary Schools and Secondary blocks of Gross Internal Area (GIA) 6,000 m2 and above throughout England, but the DfE may use Lot 1 to deliver batches of primary school schemes. Schemes awarded under the framework will be subject to a mini competition or allocated via a performance based allocation procedure. The stated Lot value of 2 000 000 000 GBP is the maximum headroom for schemes delivered under this lot but the actual value of schemes is anticipated to be lower than this figure. The median anticipated pipeline for Lot 1 is expected to be a throughput of 15 secondary schemes per year. DFE makes no guarantee to any Bidder or contractor that they will be awarded any schemes and no guarantee is made in respect of any volume of work under the Framework Agreement. Lot 2 is intended for the delivery of offsite built primary school schemes and secondary blocks of GIA from 750 to 6,000+ m2 throughout England, but the DfE may use Lot 2 to deliver secondary school schemes above 6,000 m2. Schemes awarded under the framework will be subject to a mini competition or allocated via a performance based allocation procedure. The stated Lot value of 1 000 000 000 GBP is the maximum headroom for schemes delivered under this lot but the actual value of schemes is anticipated to be lower than this figure. The median anticipated pipeline for Lot 2 is expected to be a throughput of 15 primary schemes per year,. DFE makes no guarantee to any Bidder or contractor that they will be awarded any Scheme Contract and no guarantee is made in respect of any volume of work under any Scheme Contract, or in aggregate under the Framework Agreement. The frameworks are intended to supplement and not replace existing DfE school construction frameworks
