Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed a public procurement process titled "St Francis Catholic School-PCSA" for the decanting of a school into temporary accommodation, demolition of the existing structure, and rebuilding on its existing footprint. The procurement, classified under "Construction work for school buildings," falls within the works category and covers multiple regions including North East, North West, and London among others. The procurement used a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement with a tender period ending on 12th August 2025. The contract period spans from 19th August 2025 to 2nd February 2026, culminating in an award on the earlier start date, with a total contract value of £819,710.03.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in construction and related services. Firms with expertise in school building projects and the capacity for large-scale operations could benefit, particularly if they are positioned to deliver complex "design and build" tasks. Although the contract has already been awarded to Galliford Try Building Limited, understanding such procurement processes can help companies identify similar opportunities and prepare competitive bids in the future. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could also find opportunities by partnering or subcontracting with larger firms involved in these substantial public works projects.
