Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Galleywood Infant RL Replacement" project has been completed by Essex County Council. This project involves the design and construction of the RL Replacement at Galleywood Infant School, located in the East of England, United Kingdom. Categorised under primary school construction work, this award stage contract was initiated via a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £85,042.50, is set to run from 4th February 2026 to 4th February 2027. This opportunity particularly suited small and medium enterprises (SMEs), reflecting Essex County Council’s commitment to inclusive procurement practices.

The awarded contract to Phelan Construction Ltd opens significant opportunities for SMEs involved in construction, particularly those specialising in educational facilities. Companies with expertise in design and build services within the primary education sector can find potential for long-term collaboration with public sector bodies like Essex County Council. Participating in such projects can enhance a company's profile and track record, positioning it for future tenders in public construction works. This opportunity signifies potential growth not only through direct activities but also by establishing a reputation within the industry network.
