## Summary

The Northumberland County Council is seeking to appoint a main contractor for a Design and Build Contract aimed at redeveloping Hexham Middle School and Queen Elizabeth High School, located in Hexham, Northumberland. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with submissions due by 28 March 2019. The contractor will initially engage in a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) before transitioning to the main JCT contract, with construction expected to begin in late January or early February 2020 and completion set for 27 August 2021. The procurement method applied is selective, underpinned by a competitive dialogue approach, and it primarily falls under the category of works, addressing the need for new school building construction.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms and firms with experience in education-related projects, particularly those adept in design-build methodologies. Businesses specialising in construction, project management, and those with capabilities in securing planning approvals would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project not only allows firms to demonstrate their capacity in delivering educational infrastructure but also positions them favourably for potential future contracts within the public sector in the North East region.
