This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The procurement was carried out through a restricted procedure, with the final contract being signed on 13 February 2025.

The total contract value is estimated at £2,499,000. Key decisions and award details have been communicated to the involved tenderers, with a standstill period provided for any potential challenges.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and consultancy sectors, especially those specialising in educational infrastructure projects. Businesses with strong capabilities in delivering complex consultancy services can benefit from participating in similar tenders, as the project scope includes extended aftercare and soft landings post-completion.
