This procurement initiative aims to gather input from potential suppliers in the construction sector. The engagement period runs from February to August 2024, featuring activities like surveys, meetings, and webinars. The Department seeks to explore various construction methods and wishes to engage collaboratively with suppliers to shape future procurement strategies. This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses involved in construction work, offering a chance to provide feedback directly to the Department for Education. Interested companies can participate in the engagement activities to inform the strategy. The initiative targets a wide range of suppliers, emphasising the importance of early market feedback to influence the approach towards future procurement processes. ## Notice Open early market engagement - this means that a procurement idea is currently active. It is in the early stage of development and judging interest from potential suppliers. The Department for Educations (DfE) Schools Offsite Framework (MMC1) expired in January 2024 and the Construction Framework (CF21) is due to expire in November 2025. To continue supporting ongoing requirements for building and construction work past November 2025, DfE has started early strategy planning with a goal to establish most optimal route to the market. Several options are being explored including the procurement of a framework that delivers both traditional and offsite methods of construction. DfE wishes to have an early engagement with the market to help inform the above mentioned strategy in a collaborative manner by collecting feedback directly from a wide range of suppliers involved in the construction sector. We will be conducting a series of early market engagement activities between February and August 2024 which may include, but are not limited to: * Surveys and questionnaires * 1 to 1 meetings * Focus groups * Supplier days * Webinars Feedback from suppliers via these activities will help inform thinking and shape a future procurement strategy. This is early market engagement for a potential opportunity, as such, DfE is not obligated to run a procurement following this activity and is not liable for any costs associated with participating in this early engagement.
