## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) in England has awarded a contract under its panel arrangement for Technical Advisory Services, focusing on the construction and delivery of school building projects. This contract, part four of eight, has been awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited, with the award notice published on 12 February 2026. The procurement process used was selective via a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a considered selection of suppliers. The contract is set to run from 29 January 2026 to 28 January 2028, encompassing various global delivery locations, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, and Europe, within the industry category of Architectural, Construction, Engineering, and Inspection Services (CPV code: 71000000).

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth within the construction and engineering sectors, particularly for medium to large enterprises looking to engage in multidisciplinary advisory roles. Businesses specialising in technical advisory services will find themselves well-suited to this framework arrangement, as it provides steady engagement spanning the full lifecycle of construction projects. While the current stage is at 'Award,' further opportunities may arise as the panel arrangement proceeds, potentially favouring SMEs with relevant expertise in the education sector's construction projects. Given the contract's value of £26,250,000, participating businesses can expect substantial engagements over the contract's term.
