This procurement falls under the construction materials and associated items category. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement end date for interested parties is set for 30 September 2019. The authority intends to establish frameworks addressing various requirements such as heating systems, LED lighting, and windows and doors over several tranches from 2019 to 2022, with an expected cumulative value of approximately £330 million. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the construction and facilities management sectors, particularly those offering equipment and materials like boilers, lighting systems, and other essential components. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) may find competitive advantages in this procurement process. Interested suppliers should engage with the contracting authority to understand the specific requirements and participate in market engagement events, thereby positioning themselves to benefit from long-term partnerships with educational institutions. ## Notice The contracting authority is considering setting up a series of frameworks for construction and facilities management equipment and materials. Requirements will include boilers, led lighting, windows and doors, temporary class rooms, external furniture, plasterboard and tarmac. The successful suppliers will work with schools, free schools and academies to manage catalogues and process orders. This notice is for information only. The contracting authority may not subsequently publish a contract notice. The Department for Education (DfE) Direct Sourcing project aims to deliver capital expenditure savings for Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) and Free Schools Capital. However, in addition it will also deliver savings for all schools who will also be able to access the frameworks. Our commercial vision is to "drive reductions in capital expenditure by leveraging bulk buying gains, establishing long term mutually beneficial relationships and a greater visibility of true cost." The two key commercial principles driving our approach are: 1. STANDARDISATION - We will optimise the number of component parts whilst increasing quality and VFM - focussing on whole life-cycle costs. 2. DIRECT SOURCING - we will create frameworks available to our contractors and responsible bodies. Within the wider construction and facilities management materials and equipment sector the Department of Education does not hold national procurement frameworks, for schools, and, education facilities to access. The department's intention is to tender into a series of frameworks in four tranches between 2019 and 2022. The breakdown of the frameworks we intend to advertise each year is as follows: 2019: * Heating Systems * LED Lighting and Controls * Windows and Doors * MUGA * Carpets 2020: * Rooflights * Precast Floors and Stairs * Internal Door sets * Cabling and Containment * Sub Metering * DDA * Specialist Lighting * Security & CCTV 2021: * Insulation/Clading/Curtainwall * Ceiling Tiles * Metsec & Stud * Plasterboard * Cabling & Containment * Firefighting & Alarms * Mansafe & Access * Sports Equipment * Specialised Fixed Furniture * Signage 2022: * Roofing * Sanitary * Wall Finishes * Carpentry * ISP * Modular Plant * Lifts * PV & Renewables * Lighting Protection * Blinds & Shading * Fencing/Wall/Gates/Antiram * Tarmac * Evacuation & Contamination Additional information: The core aims of these proposed frameworks will be best value and awareness of procurement routes for schools. Furthermore, the frameworks are being established to benefit service users and stakeholders. The suppliers on the framework will be uniquely positioned to work with schools, free schools, academies and colleges. The above is neither an exhaustive nor final requirement. It is subject to development prior to any potential contract notices. The contracting authority will be arranging a series of market engagement events. The purpose of the market engaging events being to: - Share the contracting authority's early thinking around the potential requirement. - Seek views from potential providers on the potential requirements. - Give an overview and seek views on the intended procurement process. - Details of the market engagement events to be published at a later date. Parties interested in the first tranche of work for 2019, should register their interest at: Andrew.DYER@education.gov.uk. Proposed cumulative value of all categories: PS330,000,000 (plus or minus 20% PS384,000,000 or PS256,000,000). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e4e7e31-bbf0-4cdc-bb63-b6c5d73b2c4d | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Sep 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 2WD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44100000 - Construction materials and associated items ## Release History - 20 May 2019 at 10:48 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e4e7e31-bbf0-4cdc-bb63-b6c5d73b2c4d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e4e7e31-bbf0-4cdc-bb63-b6c5d73b2c4d 20th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
