Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has awarded a contract for the artistic and literary creation and interpretation services under the SRP1486 Woodkirk Academy project. The procurement process, managed by the Department for Education, led to a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) with Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd. This contract falls under the services category and was completed on 26th January 2026, and spans from January 2026 to September 2030. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting precision in the selection of suppliers. The contract covers multiple regions across the UK, including London, East Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it showcases government support for businesses capable of delivering complex and innovative services. Organisations specialising in artistic and literary creation within the construction realm would be suitably positioned to leverage this framework agreement. The substantial contract value of GBP 4,542,617.48 reflects the scale and significance of the project, providing excellent scope for companies aiming to expand their services and footprint in the UK’s construction and educational sectors.
