Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has successfully awarded a contract for the main construction works at Helena Romanes School. This substantial project, classified under construction work for school buildings, is valued at £84,565,685.47 and involves multiple regions across the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract award was finalised on 23rd March 2026, marking the transition to the award stage, and the works are set to commence immediately thereafter, continuing until 2nd March 2028.

This tender offers significant opportunities for large-scale construction firms, with Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd having been appointed as the supplier. While smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises may not be eligible given the scale of the project, large construction companies can find avenues for growth by participating in similar tenders. Firms with expertise in large educational infrastructure projects are particularly suited to catering to the Department for Education's requirements, potentially enhancing their portfolio and building credentials within the sector.
