## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the pre-construction services related to a new 250-place SEND school in Husbands Bosworth, England, under a contract valued at £1,350,637.14, excluding VAT. The contract involves designing the new area special school on part of the Firs Farm land and is awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited. This two-stage procurement method allows the council to engage in pre-construction services before moving to the construction phase following planning approval. The contract period for these services runs from 2nd February 2026 to 20th November 2026, with the overall construction project anticipated to proceed until 2027, contingent upon budget availability and planning consent. Classified under CPV code 71500000, this award is focused on construction-related services.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction-project management and design, aiming to participate in large-scale educational infrastructure projects. Although the current contract is specifically for pre-construction services, companies with expertise in school design, feasibility studies, and cost planning can leverage this opportunity to potentially engage in future phases of the project. Large enterprises with the capability to handle complex construction projects will find this especially attractive, given the phased project approach and the substantial investment allocated for future educational infrastructure development in the region.
