## Summary

Wakefield Council procured a pre-construction services agreement covering the design and refurbishment of the Five Towns building for educational use. The requirement combines construction consultancy with works-related design and refurbishment planning, rather than the delivery of a standalone product or routine service. The project is located in Castleford, West Yorkshire. The buying organisation is Wakefield Council, based at Wakefield One in Wakefield. Businesses in construction consultancy, architectural and technical design, refurbishment planning, and pre-construction management may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to support the development of an education-focused building project from design through to preparation for refurbishment works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Wakefield Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00. Kier Construction Limited was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026 for £480,083.59 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 5 August 2027. The published tender value was also £480,083.59. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This outcome identifies the route used by the council and the selected supplier for the Castleford Five Towns Skills Hub requirement. The procurement was classified as construction consultancy services and categorised as works.

This award is evidence that Wakefield Council commissions substantial pre-construction capability for the design and refurbishment of education buildings in Castleford. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical expertise in construction consultancy, building design, refurbishment planning and the management of pre-construction services. Experience of translating educational requirements into workable building solutions would be relevant, alongside the ability to coordinate design, technical advice, cost considerations and preparation for refurbishment delivery. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating that the buyer looked towards an established, larger contractor for this requirement. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate organisational capacity, relevant building-sector experience and the ability to deliver through a framework call-off route.
