Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured a two-stage public works contract for Bishop Walsh Catholic School. The wider project is the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school. The awarded first-stage work is a Pre-construction Services Agreement, covering early supplier involvement before the detailed design and main works are agreed. Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited was selected for this work. The procurement concerns construction of a school building; the school’s delivery location is not stated in the available process details.

The process is complete: the Department for Education awarded the contract to Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited on 23 June 2026 under the Construction Framework, using a selective framework award route. There was one lot. The award value is £102,851.52, or £123,421.82 including tax, for the Early Supplier Involvement phase only. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 15 December 2031, with a maximum extent date of 16 December 2031. The final price and expiry date remain subject to confirmation after detailed design and agreement of the main works. The process data does not set out evaluation criteria.

For firms competing for similar school projects, this award shows demand for early-stage construction input through the Department for Education’s Construction Framework, before a design-and-build or refurbishment package is finalised. A credible competitor would need to provide pre-construction services and be able to work with the buyer through detailed design towards agreement of the main works. The selected supplier is a large construction company, indicating that the work was placed with a supplier able to participate in a framework-based, two-stage public works process. The requirement is specifically school construction and refurbishment; relevant firms are those with experience in this type of education project and the capacity to support both early supplier involvement and the progression to main works.
