UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured construction work for Merrylands Primary School: the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school and nursery. The requirement covers an Early Supplier Involvement phase under Construction Framework CF25, supporting progression from pre-construction services to detailed design and the later works contract. The named delivery location is Merrylands Primary School; the procurement data does not provide a town or address for the school. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, a central government authority. The scope is a public works requirement rather than a supply or standalone consultancy opportunity, with the construction classification 45000000. The process comprised one completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd was selected on 2 July 2026 through a selective, non-competitive award under Construction Framework CF25. The award is for the Pre-construction Services Agreement and Early Supplier Involvement phase, with an estimated value of £18,314.59 excluding VAT, or £21,977.51 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 29 March 2030, with a maximum extent date of 30 March 2030. Renewal and additional options are available under the PCSA terms. The stated price and expiry date apply only to the ESI phase and remain subject to detailed design and final agreement of the works under a JCT Design and Build contract.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for integrated school construction capability, covering pre-construction involvement, design development, refurbishment and design-and-build delivery for a mainstream primary and nursery setting. A credible future competitor would need to operate through, or secure access to, the relevant construction framework route and show it can contribute during early supplier involvement before the works are finally defined. Useful capability includes coordinating detailed design with the buyer, developing buildable solutions for an education site, and delivering refurbishment or new-build construction under a JCT Design and Build arrangement. The requirement also indicates that suppliers need the capacity to support a staged public works process rather than only provide isolated construction services.
