Summary of the contracting process

The awarding of the contract for the main works at RL Hughes Primary School signifies the completion stage of this public procurement process. Managed by the Department for Education, with Galliford Try Building Limited as the appointed supplier, this project falls under the 'Construction work for school buildings' industry category. The contract is valued at approximately £16.56 million and spans multiple regions within the United Kingdom, including London and the South East, extending from March 2026 to September 2027. The procurement was executed using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period closing on 18th March 2026.

This substantial project offers considerable opportunities for large construction firms with the capacity to undertake school building works. Given the project's size and duration, it supports long-term growth prospects, particularly for companies specialising in educational infrastructure development. Businesses not classified as SMEs or VCSEs are particularly well-positioned to engage, thanks to the project's scale and complexity. This procurement process demonstrates the Department for Education's commitment to improving educational facilities, offering seasoned construction firms a chance to align themselves with government priorities in the education sector.
