The works are intended to provide sufficient primary school places associated with the Broadnook housing development. The requirement covers construction works under a construction agreement, including delivery of the expanded school facilities. The procurement is categorised as construction work (CPV 45000000) and the main category is works. The named delivery country is the United Kingdom, while the project description identifies Birstall as the location. This is a school construction project rather than a general professional services, supplies or maintenance requirement, so it is most relevant to contractors able to undertake substantial education-sector building works for a county council. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited on 29 May 2025. The award value and contract value are £4,908,247.60 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 14 November 2025 to 2 October 2026. It was a direct award through the Procurement Hub MPF2 framework, rather than an open competition, and the tender submission deadline was 29 May 2025 at 12:00 BST. The recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is named for the award, and the contract concerns the full construction stage of the school expansion rather than separate published lots. This award provides a clear reference point for construction businesses tracking education capital work for Leicestershire County Council. The successful supplier was a large construction company, indicating that the requirement was suited to an organisation with the capacity to deliver a substantial school expansion under a construction agreement. A credible future competitor would need relevant building and project-management capability, experience delivering public-sector or education facilities, and the operational resources to manage a major construction programme safely and reliably. Familiarity with the Procurement Hub MPF2 framework and its direct-award route would also be commercially relevant. The project demonstrates council demand for school infrastructure linked to housing growth in Birstall, so firms active in large education construction should monitor this buyer and requirement type. ## Notice This contract is for the construction stage to expand Hallam Fields Primary School in Birstall under a construction agreement.
