UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured construction work for Castle View Primary Academy. The requirement covers the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school, including early supplier involvement before the detailed design and final works are agreed. It is a public works requirement rather than a supply-only or professional-services commission. The procurement is associated with the Department for Education’s central-government education estate programme and is intended to deliver a completed primary academy through a staged construction approach. The selected contractor is expected to contribute to pre-construction development and then progress towards the school’s detailed design and building or refurbishment works under the subsequent construction arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was a selective, non-competitive award under Construction Framework CF25 2025/S 000-080063, using a two-stage public works process. A Pre-construction Services Agreement was awarded to McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited on 10 July 2026. The estimated award value is £12,000,000 excluding VAT, or £14,400,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 16 August 2030, with a maximum extent date of 19 August 2030. The price and expiry date relate only to the Early Supplier Involvement phase and remain subject to detailed design and final agreement of the works under a JCT Design and Build contract. Renewal and additional purchase options apply under the PCSA terms.

This award shows the Department for Education’s demand for staged delivery of primary-school construction and refurbishment through its construction framework. Competitors seeking future work of this type would need to offer credible design-and-build capability, experience of mainstream education buildings and the capacity to support early supplier involvement before construction is finalised. The requirement also favours suppliers able to work within framework call-off arrangements and to move from pre-construction services into a JCT Design and Build contract. McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited’s selection indicates that modular or offsite construction capability may be commercially relevant, particularly where it supports coordinated design, efficient delivery and refurbishment or new-build solutions for schools.
