## Summary

The "Harry Watts Academy" tender, initiated by Sunderland City Council, involves the construction of a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school located in the North East of the United Kingdom. The procurement process, classified under building construction works, has been completed with a total contract value of £5,100,000. The tender period concluded on 4th October 2019, and the awarded contract commenced on 1st January 2020, running until 30th October 2020. The procurement method used for this project falls under an 'Other' category, and has been designated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in educational facilities or works for vulnerable groups. Given its suitability for SMEs, smaller construction firms with experience in school projects or similar work would be well-positioned to compete in future contracts of this nature. The involvement of a large supplier, Kier Construction Ltd, may also suggest opportunities for sub-contracting or partnerships for other firms looking to expand their footprint in the public sector construction market.
