Summary of the contracting process

The White Horse Federation is establishing a dynamic market for suppliers of goods, services and works supporting schools, multi-academy trusts and other eligible public sector bodies across the United Kingdom. The scope covers everyday consumables, equipment and related procurement requirements, including furniture and furnishings, domestic appliances, cleaning products, repair and maintenance, hospitality and retail services, property services, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, and education and training. Specific call-off competitions will be run for individual requirements among suppliers admitted to the relevant category or categories. The named requirement relates to the Atkins Realis – Nyland School Extension, although the market is intended to support a wider range of education and public sector procurement needs. The White Horse Federation is the buying organisation, supported by Value Match Services as procurement specialist.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure using a dynamic market. The enquiry deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The anticipated award decision date was 28 September 2026 at 23:59, with the contract period running from 6 October 2026 to 8 October 2027. The single lot has an estimated value of £5,000,000 excluding VAT, or £6,000,000 including VAT. Evaluation is indicatively weighted 50% quality and 50% price; detailed criteria will be set at call-off stage. Electronic submissions are allowed in English. Payment terms are 30 days. Suppliers can apply for admission across relevant categories and compete for subsequent call-offs.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises as well as larger suppliers. Businesses should be able to demonstrate technical capability relevant to the categories they select, such as construction, engineering, inspection, property, maintenance, furniture and equipment supply, cleaning, hospitality, retail, education or training. Admission requires legal registration and proportionate financial information showing basic financial standing; audited accounts are not required for joining. Suppliers must provide appropriate technical evidence, with qualifications, certifications and standards accepted on an equivalent basis, including international or industry-recognised equivalents. Requirements are intended to be proportionate. Insurance is dealt with at call-off stage rather than being mandatory for admission, so firms with a focused capability or specialist category experience may be well placed to compete.
