Summary of the contracting process

ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL has completed a procurement process for the "Glenwood Post16 Expansion" project, which entails the design and construction of a new standalone building for post-16 expansion at Glenwood SEN School. This project falls under the category of construction work for school buildings, specifically within the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out via a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded with the award stage dated 20th January 2026, and the project's contract period is set to commence on that date and continue until 26th May 2027. The total contract value amounts to £6,672,547.76.

This tender offers opportunities for large construction companies, particularly those specialising in educational infrastructure, to expand their presence in the East of England region. With the contract awarded to Morgan Sindall Construction, a large-scale company, it highlights the level of competition and expertise required. Businesses within the construction industry looking to engage in significant educational projects can view this as an indicator of the types of procurement opportunities available within regional government frameworks like those facilitated by ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) were not specifically targeted in this tender, the scale of the project indicates that substantial capacity and experience are key factors for success.
