Summary of the contracting process

The Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust is leading a procurement process titled "Grove Primary School Expansion Project," which involves the design and construction of a new primary school building along with associated landscaping and external works. This project falls within the construction and architectural services category, with key delivery addresses spanning various regions across the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others. Presently in the tender stage, the procurement process employs a competitive flexible procedure, running through two design and build stages. The deadline for expressions of interest is set for 17th October 2025, and the selection process will culminate with the award expected by 23rd April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, architecture, and related engineering services, particularly those capable of managing design and build projects. The process incorporates both cost and quality assessments, with a balance of 80% cost and 20% quality evaluation in the final stage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, and the procurement methodology supports a selective approach to ensure a high standard of proposals. Companies that can meet the pre-qualification and subsequent assessment criteria may find this expansion project to be a valuable opportunity to expand their portfolio within the public sector domain.
