## Summary

The procurement process for the Dorset Studio School PCSA (Pre-Construction Services Agreement) has been completed, focusing on the category of artistic and literary creation and interpretation services. The Department for Education, situated in London, acted as the contracting authority. The process was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement, adopting a selective procurement method. The tender phase concluded on 14 April 2026, and the contract commenced on 21 April 2026, with an end date set for 3 March 2027. The project spans several regions across the United Kingdom, offering services in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The total contract value amounted to £1,322,084.14.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction services related to arts and education facilities, particularly those with SME status as they were deemed suitable for this project. Large firms may find competitive advantages given the scale of the contract and the involvement of Tilbury Douglas, a large supplier that has been awarded the project. Businesses experienced in delivering services under framework agreements would be well-positioned to engage in such government projects, thereby facilitating potential growth in public sector contracts.
