## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has awarded a contract for the design of new model schools, with Cullinan Studio selected as the supplier. The project, titled "New Model Designs for Schools," falls under the industry category of construction work for buildings related to education and research (CPV classification 45214000). The procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the procurement stage is now complete. The key dates include a tender period ending on 27 September 2024, a contract start date of 15 November 2024, and a completion date of 28 February 2025. The project will include designing primary, secondary, and SEND school models to create cost and time efficiencies through 3D BIM models, covering locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £310,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architecture and construction industries, specifically those specialising in educational facilities and digital building design. Companies focusing on 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) and having experience in creating adaptable space-efficient designs would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to leverage this opportunity to showcase their expertise and innovation in school construction projects. By participating in these tenders, businesses can expand their portfolio, enhance their market visibility, and potentially secure future contracts with the DfE and other public sector entities.

## Notice

The New Model Designs project will create three digital model school designs. The three designs will be a primary school, a secondary school and a SEND school. The project will demonstrate the department's approach to Platform through standardisation and establish model design for each respective school type, leading to efficiencies of space, programme time for design and adaptability for future use. This project will deliver 3D BIM models for each school type. Once completed the DfE will be able to provide contractors with structural and building system agnostic model designs aligned to the new school building.
