Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has finalised the award for the construction of Lime Hills SEND School under the project title "Main Works (con_30754)". This process falls within the construction works industry category, specifically aimed at building school facilities, valued at approximately £14.5 million. It covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The tender utilised a selective procurement method, calling off from a framework agreement, with the contracting process transitioning from tender to award stage as of 3rd February 2026. The established contract period runs from 3rd February 2026 to 3rd August 2027.

This significant opportunity is geared towards large construction firms possessing the capability to participate in school building projects. Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd, a prominent supplier, has been awarded the contract, indicating the tender's inclination towards companies of substantial scale and experience. Although not particularly suited for SMEs or VCSE entities, businesses in the sectors related to construction and educational infrastructure development have the potential to engage in future procurements of similar nature through framework agreements managed by the Department for Education. This engages the dynamic sector of educational infrastructure, fostering avenues for significant business expansion through government projects.
