Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed the procurement process for the construction of Greenfield Academy, a new build in Newton Aycliffe, North East England. This project falls under the construction industry category, with a focus on public buildings, and it was carried out using a selective procurement method as a call-off from the Northern Procurement Alliance's Public Buildings Framework. The contract, valued at £14,000,000, was awarded to Esh Construction Limited on 16 May 2025. The project is in the award stage, with the contract period set from 26 May 2025 to 30 October 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction companies, particularly those classed as SMEs, looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. Firms specialising in large-scale construction works, especially those familiar with framework agreements, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The procurement process was designed to accommodate SMEs, providing a pathway for smaller businesses to secure substantial government contracts within the North East region.
