## Summary

Milton Keynes City Council procured the design and construction of a new primary school in Milton Keynes to meet local education demand. The completed facility is planned to include a 39-place nursery, a 630-place primary school and a 24-place special educational needs and disabilities unit. The works also cover associated external infrastructure and landscaping, including drop-off and parking facilities and play areas. This is a construction works opportunity, covering both education-related building construction and wider building construction. The requirement is therefore suited to a main contractor able to coordinate design, construction and external works as one programme, with experience delivering complex education facilities and environments designed for children with different access and support needs.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Milton Keynes City Council selected Willmott Dixon Construction on 30 July 2026, for £683,569 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 September 2029. The competition was run as a further competition under the CCS RM6088 Construction Works and Associated Services framework, Lot 3.2 for construction works and associated services in South England. Tender submissions were due by 12:00 on 20 January 2026. The opportunity was classified as works and marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published procurement information does not set out an award weighting or detailed evaluation criteria.

For businesses that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Milton Keynes City Council for integrated school design and construction, rather than a single-trade building package. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to manage a substantial education project from design through delivery, coordinate specialist requirements for nursery, primary and SEND provision, and deliver external works alongside the main building. Relevant capability includes programme management, construction of education buildings, stakeholder coordination and the delivery of safe, accessible and practical school environments. Experience handling parking, drop-off arrangements, play areas and landscaping as part of a wider build would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route also shows that access to the relevant construction framework and its South England lot is commercially important.
