UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured pre-construction services for Castle View Primary Academy, a mainstream primary school. The requirement forms part of a two-stage public works contract covering the design and build or refurbishment of the school. The Early Supplier Involvement phase supports progression to detailed design and agreement of the main works. The work is categorised as construction of school buildings (CPV 45214200) and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, the central government department responsible for the procurement. The requirement sits within Construction Framework CF25 and relates to one completed lot. The appointed supplier is McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited, based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to McAvoy Modular Offsite Limited on 10 July 2026. It used a selective procedure through a framework, with the award made under the framework and without a competitive call-off. The award and contract value is £11,200 excluding VAT, or £13,440 including VAT. This price relates only to the Early Supplier Involvement phase and remains subject to confirmation after detailed design and final agreement of the works. The award period runs from 21 August 2026 to 16 August 2030, with a maximum extent to 19 August 2030. The signed contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 30 August 2030. Renewal and additional purchase options apply under the PCSA terms.

For a supplier assessing future Department for Education demand, this procurement demonstrates a route into primary-school construction through Construction Framework CF25 and a two-stage delivery model. A credible competitor would need to provide pre-construction input during Early Supplier Involvement, then support detailed design and the potential progression to a JCT Design and Build contract for the main works. Relevant capability includes designing, building or refurbishing mainstream primary schools and coordinating the requirements of a central government education buyer. Experience of working through a construction framework and managing the transition from early supplier involvement to agreed works would be important. The selected supplier is a large business specialising, by name, in modular offsite delivery, indicating that modular or offsite construction capability may be commercially relevant to this requirement.
