## Summary

The procurement process for "Primary Education Provision in Corby - Delivery Options for a New Primary School" has been completed by North Northamptonshire Council. This project falls under the industry category of primary school construction work. Located in the UKF2 region, the tender involves reallocating Section 106 funding to deliver a new three-form entry primary school at Priors Hall Zone 2. The procurement method used was limited, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract signing on 12th September 2024, with Urban & Civic Projects Limited awarded the contract valued at £4,000,000. This initiative supports the council's response to declining demand for primary school places and various factors such as rising delivery costs and sustainability goals.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and education infrastructure development. Firms specialising in primary school construction, sustainable building practices, and project management for educational facilities would find this contract particularly appealing. The reallocation of S106 funding towards this project highlights the commitment to improving educational infrastructure while aligning with the council's broader objectives of net-zero ambitions and supporting existing schools' viability. Companies able to deliver on these fronts will significantly benefit, especially those poised to support rapid development and effectively utilise available assets and funding.

## Notice

In recent years primary-age pupil growth has declined, leading to a decreased demand for primary school places overall. This position has led to the Council reconsidering its options for new school delivery linked to new housing development, alongside other factors such as rising costs of delivery, sustainability and net zero ambitions, as well as supporting the viability of existing schools operating in the area. As a result of these considerations, and following discussion with the developers, an opportunity has been identified to rationalise delivery of new primary education provision, making best use of available assets and funding, whilst also providing sufficient capacity to meet identified needs. It also offers an opportunity to allow the Weldon Park Site to be developed for SEND purposes. This provides a valuable site for any potential Department for Education (DfE) New School Bid opportunities. The intention is to reallocate Section 106 funding from the Weldon Park development towards delivery of a new three form entry primary school at Priors Hall Zone 2.
