The requirement covers design and build or refurbishment works, beginning with early supplier involvement and pre-construction services before progression to detailed design and the main works. The procurement sits within Construction Framework CF25 and was managed as a public works requirement. Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited was selected as the contractor for the school project. The stated scope is therefore relevant to construction businesses with experience of education buildings, school refurbishment, design coordination and delivery of all-through school facilities under public sector arrangements. The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure, with the contract awarded under a framework, and was not competitively reopened. The single lot was completed. The award was made to Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited on 4 August 2026 for £113,106.08 excluding VAT, or £135,727.30 including VAT. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 6 November 2029, with a maximum extent to 7 November 2029. This award covers the Early Supplier Involvement phase of a two-stage contract; the price and expiry date may change when the detailed design and main works are agreed. Renewal and options are available under the PCSA terms. This award indicates demand from the Department for Education for school construction and refurbishment delivered through its construction framework, using a staged route that brings the contractor into design and pre-construction before the main works are finalised. A competitor preparing for a future requirement would need credible capability in design and build, refurbishment of education premises, pre-construction services and coordination with the client through detailed design. Experience of all-through or mainstream school environments would be directly relevant, as would the organisational capacity to work within a central-government construction framework and administer the terms of a PCSA and subsequent JCT Design and Build contract. The selected supplier was a large construction company, indicating substantial delivery capacity. ## Notice This Contract Award relates to a two-stage public works contract and confirms that a Pre-construction Services Agreement (PCSA) has been awarded under Construction Framework CF25 [2025/S 000-080063] for the design and build/refurbishment of a Mainstream All Through School. The contract price and expiry date stated herein solely reflect the estimated amount to be paid to the Contractor under the Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) phase. The contract price and expiry date are subject to confirmation following progression to detailed design and final agreement of the Works under a JCT Design and Build contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081265-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Award under framework | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 25 Aug 2026 - 6 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £113,106 | | Contracts value | £113,106 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Department for Education | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 26 Aug 2026 at 12:54 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081265-2026 - 25 Aug 2026 at 15:28 - AwardUpdate - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080925-2026 - 25 Aug 2026 at 15:22 - AwardUpdate - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080921-2026 - 25 Aug 2026 at 10:08 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080685-2026 - 25 Aug 2026 at 09:33 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080645-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081265-2026 26th August 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080925-2026 25th August 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080921-2026 25th August 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080685-2026 25th August 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080645-2026 25th August 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/api/1.0/ocdsReleasePackages/ocds-h6vhtk-04e992 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
