Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for Upton-by-Chester High School's main construction works, overseen by the Department for Education, has reached the award stage as of 31 October 2025. This significant project, classified under the CPV code 45000000 for construction work, encompasses multiple regions across the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The procurement method employed was selective, hinging on a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 16 October 2025, with the contract period set to span from 23 October 2025 to 14 July 2028. The awarded value of the contract is £69,326,699.80, and Kier Construction has been appointed as the supplier.

This project presents a considerable opportunity for businesses involved in large scale construction projects, particularly those capable of managing extensive regional operations across England. Although specifically awarded to Kier Construction, the scale and scope of the procurement indicate significant potential for subcontractors and specialists in areas such as site preparation, building services, and project management. Companies with experience in educational infrastructure projects or those looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector construction industry could find avenues for business growth by aligning with major contracts of this nature.
