## Summary

The Department for Education commissioned public works for Thameside Primary School, a mainstream primary school. The requirement covers the design and build or refurbishment of the school, beginning with Early Supplier Involvement during pre-construction. The appointed contractor is involved through a Pre-construction Services Agreement, with the intended works expected to progress into a detailed design and construction phase under a JCT Design and Build contract. This is a construction opportunity focused on delivering a complete school facility or refurbishing an existing one, rather than supplying standalone goods or routine services. The procurement is part of the Department for Education’s use of Construction Framework CF25 and concerns the full design-and-build school development requirement.

This was a selective procurement awarded through a framework without reopening competition. It used a two-stage public works approach and is now complete. The Pre-construction Services Agreement was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd. The award value is £5,385,200 excluding VAT, or £6,462,240 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 27 August 2029, with a maximum extent date of 28 August 2029. The stated price and expiry date apply only to the Early Supplier Involvement phase and remain subject to detailed design and agreement of the works. The arrangement includes options and renewal provisions under the PCSA terms.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for substantial mainstream-primary-school construction and refurbishment delivered through a two-stage design-and-build model. A credible future competitor would need to combine construction delivery with pre-construction capability, including early supplier involvement, design development and coordination before the works contract is finalised. Experience of JCT Design and Build arrangements and of managing complex public-sector school projects would be directly relevant. The route also shows the importance of access to the Department’s construction framework and the ability to work within its framework-award process. Suppliers should be positioned to lead or integrate design, construction, refurbishment and client-side development activities at a large-project scale.
