Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council appointed a design-and-build contractor for the expansion of Aylestone High School. The works cover secondary school construction, delivered in Hereford. The project was procured through the Procure Partnership Framework’s West Midlands contractor procurement route, using its £5m–£15m value band. The contract is based on the JCT Design & Build Contract 2016. The requirement is a school expansion rather than a general construction programme, so it is most relevant to firms able to take responsibility for both design and construction of education facilities. The scope description identifies the school expansion but does not break the works down into individual building elements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Overbury PLC. The contract is active and was signed on 8 September 2026. Its value is £10,913,292.32. The tender record lists the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; no cancellation reason is stated. The Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, as a call-off from the Procure Partnership Framework. Procurement followed a two-stage design-and-build route, and the stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The contract period is not stated in the process information.

This award demonstrates Herefordshire Council’s demand for a substantial secondary-school expansion delivered through a design-and-build contract. A credible competitor for similar work would need to bring coordinated design and construction capability, experience of education construction and the capacity to deliver a project of this scale under a JCT Design & Build contract. Familiarity with the Procure Partnership Framework’s contractor procurement route would also be relevant, since this requirement was called off through that framework rather than advertised as an open competition. The recorded evaluation criterion was price, so firms competing when this requirement returns to market would need a commercially competitive proposal as well as evidence that they can manage the design-and-build delivery.
