Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council procured the design and build of a replacement RL facility at Galleywood Infant School, postcode CM2 8RR. This is primary school construction work, classified under CPV 45214210, and falls within the works category. The project is intended to replace the school’s existing RL provision through a design-and-build approach, covering both design responsibilities and construction delivery. The work is located at Galleywood Infant School in Galleywood, within Essex and the East of England. The requirement is for a construction business able to deliver building work in an operational or education setting and coordinate the design and construction elements as a single package for the council.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Essex County Council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to Phelan Construction Ltd on 5 December 2025. The awarded value was £85,042.50 including the currency stated as GBP. The contract period runs from 4 February 2026 to 4 February 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lot awards are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Essex County Council for relatively small-scale, school-based design-and-build construction delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to combine practical building capability with the ability to manage design coordination, construction delivery and completion as one contractor. Experience of primary-school or other education-sector projects would help demonstrate an understanding of working around school users, safeguarding expectations and the need to maintain safe, controlled sites. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller construction business with the required delivery capacity and framework access could compete. Evidence of reliable programme, quality and stakeholder management would strengthen its position.
