The Department for Education (DfE) is set to unveil a \u00a315.4bn construction framework, it has announced.<\/p>\n

The new framework is planned to run for six years, from December 2025 to December 2031, with a two-year extension period possible afterwards.<\/p>\n

Potential work involves construction jobs in all areas of England, covering primary, secondary, special schools and further education buildings.<\/p>\n

The DfE is holding the last of a series of bidders\u2019 events on Monday (10 March), after which a full tender notice for the Construction Framework (CF25) panel will be published.<\/p>\n

Officials from the DfE and Cabinet Office will be among the speakers at the hour-long engagement session, which will be held on Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n

Suppliers can sign-up for registration here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new programme will replace the existing four-year CF21, which is set to expire in November 2025.<\/p>\n

Worth \u00a37bn, the previous iteration<\/a> was introduced in November 2021 and included a total of 22 lots.<\/p>\n

Tier one contractors such as Bam<\/a>, Bowmer & Kirkland, Kier<\/a>, Wates<\/a> and Willmott Dixon<\/a> landed places in the highest-value lots for projects valued at \u00a312m or more.<\/p>\n

Morgan Sindall<\/a>, ISG<\/a>, Galliford Try<\/a> and Tilbury Douglas<\/a> also won places on all eight medium-value (\u00a36m to \u00a312m) regional lots in CF21.<\/p>\n

Kier won a place on all 12 low-value lots for projects up to \u00a36m.<\/p>\n

Bowmer & Kirkland was the DfE\u2019s top supplier in the 2023\/24 financial year, data obtained by Construction News<\/em> under the Freedom of Information Act showed.<\/p>\n

It received \u00a3313.5m from the department in the period, up from \u00a3197m in the prior year<\/a>, when it was also the contractor that received the most money from the DfE.<\/p>\n

Bam Construct was the second largest supplier in 2023\/24, earning \u00a3176.7m, while Kier was third with \u00a3167m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
