The procurement stage is currently active, with a total contract value of £25,000. The tender deadline is set for June 14, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to run from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2029. The buying organisation is seeking proposals to establish an Academy in response to the need for a new school due to housing developments in the Foxlydiate area of Worcestershire. This tender opportunity by Worcestershire County Council presents a chance for businesses involved in providing primary education services to establish an Academy in the Foxlydiate area of Worcestershire. Companies in the education sector, especially those focusing on primary education services, would be well-suited to compete in this open procedure tender. Interested parties can access the tender documents and submit their proposals by the deadline to be considered for this contract that aligns with the Education and Inspections Act 2006. ## Notice The Foxlydiate area straddles the boundary between Bromsgrove and Redditch District Councils in the north of Worcestershire, within a locality that has attracted several housing developments in recent years. Housing growth generates an increase in population, including of children and young people, and the provision of childcare, school and further education places at local facilities must increase accordingly. A major housing development on land to the west of Foxlydiate Lane and Pumphouse Lane is expected to deliver c. 2,560 new houses by 2037. This development is forecast to generate around 28 pupils in each year group of first school age (nursery and Reception through to Year 4) by 2027 and 73 pupils by 2031. There are also other developments in the locality which are forecast to generate a further 26 Reception age pupils by 2027 and 39 pupils by 2031. Existing local schools cannot be expanded to accommodate these numbers, so a new first school is required. The developer of Foxlydiate is providing a site within the development, which will enable these pupils to access a first school within their local community, and they are contributing the majority of the construction cost. Under section 6A of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (the 'free school presumption') where a local authority identifies the need to establish a new school it must, in the first instance, seek proposals to establish an Academy.
