## Summary

Essex County Council has completed the procurement process for the design and construction of a new Special School, Wolsey Park SEND, located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement was part of a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, within the works category for construction of school buildings. The procurement stage concluded with an award to Kier Construction Limited, and the contract period is set from 20th May 2026 to 13th July 2028. The contract, valued at £21,467,763.81, was officially awarded on 20th May 2026, and the award notice was published on 28th July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large construction firms capable of executing large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those with expertise in building educational facilities. While smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed less suitable for this specific contract, large companies with a strong portfolio in school building projects are poised to benefit from potential future opportunities under similar frameworks managed by Essex County Council.
