Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured main construction works for River Tees Academy, classified as construction work for school buildings. The requirement is for works rather than goods or services, covering the delivery of a school construction project. Delivery locations span England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The named buyer is the Department for Education. The scope is therefore relevant to construction businesses able to deliver education-sector building works across England, particularly main contractors with the resources to manage a substantial academy construction project and its associated delivery requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 4 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 11 June 2026 to BAM Construction Ltd for £20,792,548.08 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 11 June 2026 to 13 August 2027. The award is active and covers the full school construction works requirement. The contracting process records one supplier and one award. The outcome indicates that the Department for Education used an established framework route rather than an open tender for this procurement, with supplier suitability identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for substantial school construction delivered by a large main contractor through a framework call-off. Businesses seeking comparable future work would need proven capability in constructing school buildings and managing complex public-sector construction programmes from mobilisation through completion. Relevant strengths would include sufficient organisational scale, financial resilience, workforce capacity, programme and site management, supply-chain control, and the ability to coordinate specialist building trades and statutory requirements. The procurement is not suited to SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises as prime suppliers. Framework access, experience of education-sector works, and a credible record of delivering major construction projects would be important competitive foundations when this buyer next requires similar works.
