Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust is seeking bids for the construction of a new toilet block extension, alongside redeveloping the surrounding area, at their existing educational facility in Norwich. This procurement process is categorised under building construction work and falls under the 'works' industry category. Currently, this tender is in the 'Tender' stage, with the process being an open competition below the threshold. Interested parties should note that key dates include an enquiry period ending on 23rd October 2025, and a submission deadline set for 31st October 2025. The project is expected to commence in January 2025 and be completed by April 9th, 2025, with a total budget capped at £150,000 funded by a Department of Education grant.

The criteria for awarding the contract is based 70% on price and 30% on quality, allowing skilled companies focused on cost-efficiency and high standards to excel in the competitive bidding process. Businesses in Norfolk and the greater UK region specialising in educational infrastructure development are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.
