Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority is procuring an integrated supply team to design and deliver a 12-class extension at Antrim Primary School, replacing existing modular accommodation. This is a construction works requirement for a school building, including the associated building construction activities needed to provide the extension. Delivery is at Antrim Primary School in Northern Ireland. The opportunity is therefore aimed at construction teams able to take an integrated approach to the delivery of education facilities, rather than suppliers of standalone goods or routine services. The buyer is The Education Authority, a public authority responsible for education provision in Northern Ireland. The requirement concerns one consolidated project, covering the extension and replacement of the school’s existing modular accommodation.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It uses two stages: first assessing conditions of participation, then evaluating quality, social value and price to identify the most advantageous tender. Enquiries had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 23:59, and expressions of interest by 11 September 2026 at 23:59. The planned award decision date was 18 December 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 30 April 2027 to 27 October 2028. The estimated value is £5,200,000 excluding VAT, or £6,240,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed in English, using the specified e-tendering submission route. There is one lot.

This opportunity suits an integrated construction supply team with the capability to deliver a substantial school extension and replace existing modular accommodation. Relevant suppliers are likely to be able to coordinate the full delivery of an education building project and demonstrate strong technical quality, while addressing social value commitments and providing a competitive price. The two-stage process means businesses must first satisfy the conditions of participation before their tender is assessed against the award criteria. It is most relevant to construction contractors and integrated delivery teams with experience of education or comparable building projects, sufficient capacity for a project running from 2027 to 2028, and the organisational capability to manage quality, social value and price submissions as a single offer.
