Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured additional authority monitoring services for its Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) Private Finance programme. The work is general management consultancy, involving monitoring support on behalf of the Department and the authorities connected with the programme. Delivery covers England across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a services requirement for organisations able to provide public-sector programme monitoring and contract-support expertise across a geographically broad portfolio. The named buyer is the Department for Education, with the requirement focused on supporting authorities involved in the PSBP Private Finance programme rather than on construction delivery itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Department for Education used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to P2G Contract Support LLP on 12 January 2026 for £500,000. The contract period runs from 12 January 2026 to 12 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5pm on 5 January 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was procured as a services contract. P2G Contract Support LLP is the selected supplier. The published procurement information describes the requirement and its route through the framework, while the award establishes the supplier, value and delivery period for this commission.

This award demonstrates demand for specialist authority monitoring and contract-support capability within the Department for Education’s school-building Private Finance programmes. A credible future competitor would need experience of general management consultancy in a public-sector setting, with the ability to monitor programme performance and support authorities rather than deliver building works directly. The geographically wide delivery footprint indicates a need for teams, systems or partner arrangements capable of working consistently across England. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Relevant firms should be able to evidence reliable monitoring methods, clear reporting, stakeholder management and understanding of Private Finance programme governance.
