## Summary

The public procurement process, facilitated by Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council, pertains to an awarded contract for the construction of a 5-classroom extension and associated refurbishment at Newfield School in Blackburn, England. The procurement falls under the construction sector, specifically for school buildings, with a total contract value of £2,187,485. Initiated as a tender and now at the award stage, the procurement method was classified as "Other." Key dates include the contract award on 14th August 2025, with work scheduled to commence on 25th August 2025 and complete by 30th June 2026. The Blackburn-based council, located at Town Hall, King William Street, conducted this process, aiming to enhance educational infrastructure.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in educational infrastructure and construction services. It is particularly suited for larger construction firms, given the project's scale and budget. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were considered suitable, the awarded supplier, Walter Carefoot & Sons (Construction) Ltd, illustrates that large-scale companies were competitive contenders. Businesses with expertise in school extensions and refurbishment work, especially those familiar with local government procurement processes, can leverage such opportunities for growth and portfolio expansion.
