## Summary

The East Durham College Main Works procurement, orchestrated by the Department for Education, focuses on construction work for buildings of further education. The contracting process, which has reached the award stage, involves regions across the United Kingdom, including London and the South East. The procurement, valued at approximately £26.49 million, is set to commence on 24 September 2025 and conclude on 29 October 2027. Utilizing a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, it has been classified under the works category within the main procurement classification scheme (CPV code 45214500). The contract was awarded to Tilbury Douglas, indicating the project's alignment with large-scale suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, specifically those capable of undertaking large-scale educational infrastructure projects. Companies with expertise in further education facilities will find this a lucrative opportunity to contribute to developing essential educational infrastructure across regions such as the North East and East Midlands. Given that the procurement is not deemed suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger construction firms, particularly those experienced in framework agreements, will be best positioned to leverage growth opportunities from this contract. The prime contractor, Tilbury Douglas, sets a benchmark for large enterprises aiming to engage in similar procurement opportunities.
