Tender description

Central Foundation Boys’ School is a voluntary aided, comprehensive school, providing education for over 900 students between the ages of 11 and 18. Although the majority of the students are male, there is a mixed sixth form. The school is voluntary aided by a Foundation Trust, which was established in the 19th century. The School provides an ‘Outstanding’ (Ofsted 2015) education for its pupils, over 60 % of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2016, the School’s GCSE added value measure ranked it as the top performing non-selective boys’ school in England. The existing school accommodation is considered inadequate and the school is planning to increase its intake of pupils over the next few years.The overall development of the school site is split into two phases and will deliver much needed improvements to the school. This PQQ and the Tender that will be issued subsequently to the shortlisted tenderers is for Phase 2 only. It is proposed that this contract will be let under a JCT 2016 Design and Build Contract with amendments using a single stage procurement route.
