UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured early-stage construction services for Thameside Primary School. The requirement is a two-stage public works contract covering the design and build or refurbishment of a mainstream primary school. The awarded phase is a Pre-construction Services Agreement (PCSA), providing early supplier involvement before the detailed design and final works are agreed under a JCT Design and Build contract. The work is classified as construction of school buildings (CPV 45214200). The buyer is a central government department, based in London, and the project concerns the Thameside Primary School site. The procurement forms part of Construction Framework CF25 and is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot opportunity, with one completed lot covering the school project and its associated pre-construction services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd. It used a selective procedure through an existing framework, with the award made directly under that framework rather than through a competitive call-off. The award is active and covers the PCSA and early supplier involvement phase. Its estimated value is £53,068.71 excluding VAT and £63,682.45 including VAT. The award period runs from 24 August 2026 to 27 August 2029, with a maximum extent to 28 August 2029. Renewal and additional options are available under the PCSA terms. The stated price and expiry date remain subject to confirmation after detailed design and agreement of the final works.

This procurement indicates demand from the Department for Education for suppliers able to support mainstream school construction projects from pre-construction through potential design-and-build or refurbishment delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience in education or comparable public-sector building work, early supplier involvement, design coordination, buildability advice and refurbishment planning. Capability to progress from a PCSA into a JCT Design and Build contract would be relevant, as would the capacity to manage a two-stage project and develop costs and scope as the design matures. The route also shows the buyer’s use of Construction Framework CF25 and a selective framework-based award, so suppliers seeking similar work would need suitable framework access and the organisational scale to deliver complex school projects.
