UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured construction works for Bishop Walsh Catholic School: the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school. The requirement covers the early supplier involvement and pre-construction services needed to develop the project towards detailed design and the main works contract. The procurement is a public works requirement and is associated with CPV 45000000, construction work. The buyer is the Department for Education, a central government authority. The named project location is Bishop Walsh Catholic School; the available data does not provide a separate town or site address. The requirement was handled as a call-off from Construction Framework CF25, rather than as a standalone open-market competition.

The procurement has been awarded and the related contract is active. It was a two-stage process using a selective procedure and an award under a framework; competition was not reopened for this award. The contract was awarded to Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited on 23 June 2026 and signed on 21 August 2026. The award and contract value is £102,851.52 excluding VAT, or £123,421.82 including VAT. This amount and the period relate only to the Early Supplier Involvement phase and are subject to confirmation when detailed design and the works are agreed under a JCT Design and Build contract. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 15 December 2031, with a maximum extent date of 16 December 2031. Renewal and options are available under the PCSA terms.

This procurement indicates demand from the Department for Education for contractors able to support school construction projects through early supplier involvement and then progress towards detailed design and design-and-build delivery. A credible competitor for similar work would need construction expertise covering primary-school environments, refurbishment and new-build or integrated design-and-build delivery, together with the capacity to contribute during pre-construction and coordinate the transition into main works. Experience of public-sector construction frameworks and two-stage contracting would be directly relevant, as would the ability to work within PCSA and JCT Design and Build arrangements. The selected supplier was a large construction company, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with substantial organisational and delivery capacity for a central-government education project.
