Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority is procuring an integrated consultant team for St. Gerard’s School in Belfast. The team will provide professional services for a proposed school extension accommodating up to 220 pupils, covering RIBA Stages 0 to 7. The requirement includes architectural services and design, engineering design, construction project management and quantity surveying. This is a public-sector education capital project, with the work centred on the school in Belfast. The procurement is for services rather than construction works, so it is relevant to multidisciplinary architectural, engineering, project management and cost consultancy practices able to collaborate across the full project lifecycle.

The process has reached tender: the Education Authority invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure using a selective procurement method. Stage one assesses conditions of participation; stage two evaluates the most advantageous tender against quality, social value and price, with the detailed ratios set out in the tender documents. Enquiries were due by 1 September 2026 at 11:59pm, and expressions of interest by 4 September 2026 at 11:59pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 18 December 2026 to 15 December 2034, with the award decision due on 18 December 2026. The estimated value is £1.8 million excluding VAT, or £2.16 million including VAT.

This opportunity suits an integrated consultancy or consortium that can take a school extension from early-stage definition through design, construction and completion. Relevant capability spans architecture, architectural design, civil or building engineering design, construction project management and quantity surveying. Suppliers should be able to coordinate these disciplines and deliver the full RIBA 0–7 service, rather than a single isolated design package. Experience of education buildings, school extensions, occupied-site projects or comparable public-sector capital works would support a credible offer. The evaluation gives weight to quality and social value as well as price, so bidders will need to demonstrate a strong delivery approach, community benefits and effective collaborative working.
