Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured main construction works for Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School. The requirement covers demolition before rebuilding, delivered through a full construction contract rather than a separate pre-construction services agreement. It is classified as construction work for school buildings and falls within the works category. The stated delivery area covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is the Department for Education. The scope is therefore relevant to building contractors with experience in education facilities, demolition and subsequent school construction, particularly firms able to operate across several English regions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 April 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 28 April 2026 to Galliford Try Building Limited for £1,034,253.85 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 28 April 2026 to 8 August 2026. The award is active. The published information identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The outcome shows a framework-based route for a defined school demolition and rebuilding package, with the successful supplier selected through that call-off process.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for sizeable, time-bounded school construction packages involving demolition followed by rebuilding. A credible competitor would need to deliver education-sector building works, manage demolition and construction as one full contract, and coordinate safely within a live public-sector programme. Experience operating through framework call-offs would be important, as would the financial capacity, project management and specialist supply-chain control needed for a project of this scale. Firms seeking future work of this type should be able to demonstrate completed school or comparable public building projects, reliable delivery across England and the ability to meet fixed programme requirements.
