UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured pre-construction services for Castle View Primary Academy. The requirement supports a two-stage public works project for the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school. The wider project is intended to progress from early supplier involvement into detailed design and agreement of the construction works under a JCT Design and Build contract. The identified work category is construction (CPV 45000000). The buying organisation is the Department for Education, a central government department. The procurement information identifies the academy by name but does not give a separate delivery address or town. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors and construction businesses able to support primary-school development, refurbishment and the transition from pre-construction services into later design-and-build delivery.

This procurement has been awarded and its tender status is complete. The Department for Education used a selective, non-competitive award under Construction Framework CF25 2025/S 000-080063. McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited was awarded the contract on 10 July 2026. The award value is £11,200 excluding VAT and £13,440 including VAT. The award period runs from 21 August 2026 to 16 August 2030, with a maximum extent date of 19 August 2030. The award includes renewal rights and options, subject to the Pre-construction Services Agreement. The published price and expiry date relate only to the estimated Early Supplier Involvement phase; they are subject to confirmation after detailed design and final agreement of the works. The procurement comprises one completed lot.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity demonstrates the Department for Education’s demand for early supplier involvement in mainstream primary-school projects, routed through a construction framework rather than an open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience delivering pre-construction services alongside design-and-build or refurbishment capability, and the capacity to carry a project from early involvement through detailed design and agreed works. Familiarity with JCT Design and Build contracting and the requirements of public-sector school construction would be commercially relevant. The awarded supplier, McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited, indicates that businesses combining construction delivery with offsite or modular capability may be well placed for comparable academy projects. Framework access and the ability to work through a two-stage process would also be important.
