Recent contracts include projects in the Midlands and Southern England. These contracts, each valued at £625,000, cover refurbishment work, building surveying services, and asbestos removal services as indicated by their CPV classifications. The procurement method employed was a selective call-off from the RM6088 Construction Works and Associated Services framework. The contract period runs from 23rd June 2025 to 23rd December 2025, with a tender completion status. The Department for Education, located in Coventry, is the primary buying organisation for these contracts. These tenders present significant opportunities for businesses specialising in refurbishment and construction services, especially those experienced with educational infrastructures. The projects are particularly well-suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as indicated by the suitability criteria. Engaging with these projects can provide growth avenues for firms looking to expand their portfolios in government contracts. Companies capable of offering comprehensive surveying and asbestos removal services alongside general refurbishment will find these contracts particularly advantageous, with potential for further collaboration under the departmental frameworks. ## Notice The Department for Education has awarded three contracts for the delivery of minor works in educational settings across England to support the Older Buildings Research (OBR) project. These contracts cover a range of investigative and remedial activities, which will be undertaken to refine the Department's understanding of the education estate's condition. The contracts were awarded following a competitive procurement process under the RM6088 Construction Works and Associated Services framework.
