## Summary

Durham County Council procured a pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) for new-build and refurbishment works at the proposed Sacriston Fyndoune Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) School. The requirement covers construction-related services supporting the development of a specialist education facility, including both new construction and refurbishment activity. The work is to be delivered at the Sacriston Fyndoune SEND School in Sacriston, County Durham. The procurement was classified under real estate services, although the described requirement is specifically focused on pre-construction support for building works. It was a further competition call-off from the NEPO 207 Building Construction Works framework, Lot 8, and concerned the PCSA stage only rather than the full construction delivery contract.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Durham County Council used a limited further-competition procedure under the NEPO 207 Building Construction Works framework, Lot 8, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Bowmer + Kirkland Limited. The contract value is £201,300 excluding any unspecified tax treatment, in GBP, and it was signed on 29 July 2026. Four bids were received. Evaluation placed 70% on technical quality questions and 30% on price. The recorded tender status is complete. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active, indicating that the procurement outcome resulted in a signed PCSA despite the lot status shown in the record.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Durham County Council for specialist pre-construction support linked to new-build and refurbishment of a SEND school. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would need credible building-construction and refurbishment capability, with experience developing projects for education or other occupied, specialist-use environments. They would need to contribute strong technical responses, understand the practical requirements of a pre-construction services agreement, and work effectively with the council and wider design and construction team before delivery works proceed. The competition also shows that access to the relevant NEPO building-construction framework was the route used for this requirement. A competitive supplier would therefore need suitable framework access, robust technical resources and pricing discipline, with technical quality carrying substantially more weight than price.
