Primary school construction work

Tender description

This commission is to design and build a standardised component solution to suit all primary schools be they all-through Primary, Junior or Infant and to suit a range of forms of entry (size of school). This framework includes the implementation of 9 initial primary schemes and the potential of further primary school schemes up to total project value of 95 000 000 GBP. The EFA intends to develop and apply the solution developed under this framework for use on further frameworks which will include primary school blocks and secondary school blocks. The EFA intends to appoint 3 contractors to the framework agreement — a primary contractor and 2 reserve contractors. The primary contractor will deliver a group of 9 primary schools named in the framework agreement. The reserve contractors will deliver any such schemes in circumstances where the prime contractor is unable to deliver the scheme or disqualified pursuant to the terms of the framework agreement. The framework also allows for the introduction of future primary school schemes up to a maximum value (including the named schemes) of circa 95 000 000 GBP. These additional schemes will be open to the primary contractor and the 2 reserve contractors and subject to the mini-competition procedure set out in the framework agreement. Schemes may be located throughout England.
