Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the development of Thorney Close Primary School has reached the award stage, with Sunderland City Council as the buying organisation. The contract involves the construction of a new primary school, including car parks, access roads, and landscaping, on the former Sunningdale School site in Sunderland, UKC23. This substantial project is classified under primary school construction work (CPV: 45214210) and falls within the 'works' category. The open procedure method was used for this procurement, complying with the General Procurement Agreement (GPA), and the contract with Brims Construction Limited was signed on 11 April 2025. The project's total value is approximately £11,730,513.03 GBP, and it encompasses rejuvenation tasks and the installation of modern facilities, scheduled for early delivery to ensure immediate use upon occupation.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for SMEs specialised in educational facility construction and landscaping. Companies with capabilities in developing sports pitches and playground areas will find this contract especially relevant. The project emphasises quality alongside pricing, suggesting opportunities for contractors to highlight value through innovative methods, efficient programming, and a focus on social value. Businesses with expertise in sustainable drainage systems and multi-use game areas may find further competitive advantage. Furthermore, the requirement to potentially accommodate the School's ICT contractor suggests prospects for collaboration in the project’s delivery. This tender aligns well with construction firms poised to deliver high-quality, value-driven projects within the education sector.
