Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council commissioned remodelling works at Harlow Fields School. The work is classified as school-building construction and is located in the East of England. This is a school refurbishment and alteration requirement, rather than a general construction project. The procurement identifies the council as the buyer and covers works at the school; no further description of the remodelling scope is provided.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Phelan Construction Limited was selected, with an award dated 2 July 2025 and a contract value of £101,393. The contract period runs from 2 July 2025 to 31 January 2026. The original submission deadline was 16 December 2024 at noon. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded.

The award shows Essex County Council buying school remodelling work through a framework call-off, with a small and medium-sized construction business selected for a contract of this scale. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer should be credible in building alterations and refurbishment in an occupied or operational school environment, and capable of delivering a defined works package through the relevant framework route. The recorded scope is limited to remodelling at Harlow Fields School, so experience with school buildings and coordinating construction work in an education setting is directly relevant. The data does not identify particular accreditations, specialist trades or technical requirements, so these cannot be treated as established conditions for competing.
