Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured design-and-build refurbishment works for All Saints, a mainstream primary school and nursery. The requirement is school-building construction and refurbishment, delivered at the All Saints school site; the procurement gives no more specific delivery location. The award covers a pre-construction services agreement under Construction Framework CF25, within a two-stage works contract. The planned project proceeds from pre-construction services and detailed design towards the final design-and-build works. The named requirement is focused on one school rather than a wider schools programme, making it relevant to contractors with experience in education buildings and the ability to support both pre-construction design development and delivery of refurbishment works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Speller Metcalfe on 7 October 2026. The award is for £910,989.83 excluding VAT (£1,093,187.79 including VAT). The stated price and expiry date relate only to the direct-allocation phase and remain subject to confirmation after detailed design and final agreement of the works under a JCT Design and Build contract. The recorded contract period runs from 18 June 2027 to 7 September 2029; signature was scheduled by 30 November 2026. This was a selective procedure, awarded under a framework, through a single lot. It was a two-stage public works contract and the framework allocation was not competitive. The award decision confirms the selected supplier; no separate scoring or evaluation criteria are stated.

For contractors seeking comparable Department for Education work, this award indicates demand for refurbishment and design-and-build delivery at a mainstream primary school and nursery, with pre-construction services forming part of the route into the works. A credible competitor would need to combine school-building refurbishment expertise with the capacity to contribute during detailed design and then agree and deliver the final works under a JCT Design and Build contract. The scale is a substantial, single-school project rather than a multi-site programme, and the selected supplier is a large contractor. The route was allocation through Construction Framework CF25, so relevant framework participation and the ability to work within a framework allocation would be commercially pertinent when pursuing this buyer’s similar requirement.
