## Summary

The Department for Education has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of Technical Advisory Services related to school building projects across England. This forms part of a larger panel arrangement whereby eight advisors have been appointed, each handling specific aspects to ensure project success. The awarded contract, valued at £26,250,000, spans from 16 February 2026 to 15 February 2028, focusing on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The procurement was conducted using a selective method under a framework agreement, with AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited obtaining one of the contracts. The services will be delivered in various regions, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This award presents considerable opportunities for businesses within the architectural, construction, and engineering sectors to engage with public infrastructure projects, especially those that can provide multidisciplinary technical expertise. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find these frameworks lucrative due to tailored suitability criteria. The ongoing engagement in such large-scale projects allows expert providers to establish and expand their presence in educational construction, enhancing their portfolio in public service delivery and broadening market reach internationally.
