Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned construction works for St James Daisy Hill, Church of England Primary School. The requirement covers the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school, beginning with early supplier involvement and pre-construction services. The work is classified as construction work and is being delivered for this school in Daisy Hill. It forms part of Construction Framework CF25 and is structured as a two-stage public works contract, with the early phase intended to support detailed design and agreement of the main works. This is relevant to construction contractors, design-and-build firms, building contractors and organisations experienced in delivering or refurbishing primary school facilities for public sector clients.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure to award a contract under a framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was completed. The award date was 13 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. Caddick and McLaren Construction Limited were awarded the contract. The Early Supplier Involvement and Pre-construction Services Agreement phase is valued at £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT; these figures are subject to confirmation when the detailed design and main works are agreed. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 13 May 2030, with a maximum extent to 14 May 2030. Renewal and options apply under the PCSA terms.

This award demonstrates Department for Education demand for integrated construction support for primary school projects through its Construction Framework CF25. A credible future competitor would need proven construction capability, with the ability to contribute during early supplier involvement, develop detailed design and progress towards a design-and-build or refurbishment solution. Experience of managing public works, working within framework arrangements and coordinating the transition from pre-construction services to main works would be commercially relevant. The selected suppliers are large construction businesses, indicating that capacity to manage a substantial school project and its associated design, stakeholder and delivery requirements is important. Firms with strong education-sector delivery experience and the resources to work with the Department for Education would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
