Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Woodlands School Expansion has been successfully completed by Milton Keynes City Council. This construction project falls under the industry category of building construction work and is specifically concerned with buildings related to education and research. The tendering process was awarded on 27th April 2026, with a contract period set from 18th May 2026 to 31st August 2027. This contract was managed using a selective procurement method, particularly a restricted procedure, addressing a broad delivery location scope that includes the UK and other international territories. The final stages of procurement involved Ashe Construction Ltd as the successful supplier, with the value of the award amounting to £141,291.97.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for construction businesses, particularly those skilled in educational facility development, to engage with public sector expansions in the Southeast of England. Companies that specialise in construction work and are adept at managing selective procedures and restricted processes stand to gain from this type of engagement. Although the procurement did not specifically cater to SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with the capacity to support large-scale construction projects can leverage this experience to enhance their portfolios and build ongoing relationships with local government entities like Milton Keynes City Council, ensuring future business growth through public-sector projects.
