## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by the Department for Education involves the main construction works for the River Tees Academy, categorised under construction work for school buildings. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with an active award date of 11th June 2026, and a contract running from 11th June 2026 to 13th August 2027. The project spans several regions including the North East, North West, and London, among others, with a total contract value of approximately £20.8 million. This was a selective procurement process conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in large-scale construction projects, particularly those with experience in educational infrastructure. Although the contract has been awarded to BAM Construction Ltd, the high-value nature and wide geographical scope of the project highlight the demand for substantial workforce and resources, making it an attractive prospect for large construction firms. It also underscores the importance of framework agreements in gaining access to such high-value contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), however, were deemed unsuitable as direct contractors for this procurement.
