## Summary

Suffolk County Council, located at 2 Friars Bridge Road, Ipswich, is overseeing a procurement process for the construction of a new primary school and pre-school in Lakenheath. This contract, titled "Lakenheath PS - New PS & Pre-School," falls under the "Construction work" category, classified with the CPV code 45000000. It aims to relocate the existing Lakenheath Primary School to a new facility comprising a 420-place primary school and a 30-place pre-school. The project is situated in the East of England, with the procurement stage currently reaching completion as of the award date, 27th May 2025. This construction contract, with a total value of £11,862,743.11, is being executed over a two-month period beginning 1st July 2025 and concluding on 1st September 2025, using a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the construction industry, particularly those with a capacity to engage in large-scale projects. As the awarded contract has been successfully granted to Pentaco Construction, a large supplier, other growing firms in this field can look to model their strategies to meet future framework agreements or selective procurement demands. The project's focus on infrastructure development makes it highly suitable for contractors capable of delivering complex construction solutions, especially those with expertise in educational facilities. Additionally, the inclusion of criteria suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) highlights an accessible market for companies navigating similar procurement avenues seeking strategic growth in public sector engagements.
