Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is overseeing a procurement process for the "Rivers Academy - Main Works" project, which involves construction work for school buildings across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including London and the South East. As of the award stage, the contract has been finalised with Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period starts on 19th March 2026 and ends on 28th February 2031, with the total contract value amounting to £56,213,047. This project falls under the works category according to the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) scheme.
