## Summary

The contracting process involves the Department for Education, inviting tenders for the provision of construction professional services within the built environment sector. This specific tender, titled "CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BUILT ENVIRONMENT ITT 2025", concluded with the awarding of a contract to Ove Arup & Partners Limited. The process was initiated as a selective procurement through a framework agreement, specifically the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM 6165 Lot 1. The procurement, classified under CPV code 45214200, encompasses services related to school building construction. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2025 and will end on 30th September 2026 with a total value of £125,000, and covers locations in the United Kingdom and beyond, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. Critical dates highlighted include the tender period ending on 13th March 2025 and the contract award published on 24th July 2025.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in technical advisory for modular construction, specifically in educational infrastructure. The procurement method is a call-off from a pre-existing framework, meaning only suppliers who are part of the Crown Commercial Services Framework could compete, providing an advantage to pre-qualified suppliers. The scope for potential business growth is significant for SMEs and those in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors, which are explicitly considered suitable for this procurement. Engaging in such tenders can enhance a company's portfolio in the education construction domain and facilitate the adoption of best practices and innovative solutions in the design and delivery of sustainable educational facilities.
