The Department for Education has awarded a contract for the main construction works at Merrist Wood College in England. The project falls under the construction industry category (CPV code 45000000) and is valued at £21,072,051. The procurement process was selective, carried out via a call-off from a framework agreement.

The procurement stage is the Award, with the contract currently being active as of 18 December 2024.

Businesses seeking to compete for such contracts should consider aligning with relevant frameworks and building strong reputations in the sector to capitalise on similar future opportunities.
