National Framework For Medium Works 2027

The Education Alliance · Education

In brief

The Education Alliance has announced plans to buy construction and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1,500,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 19 January 2027.

It is split into 5 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for construction contracts in this region (from 425 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,500,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

To establish the third version of the current Medium Works Framework on behalf of The Education Alliance. This national Framework will cover Works projects between £0k and £15m in value, within the UK for the whole of the public sector. The Framework will aim to provide the public sector with a Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) compliant procurement vehicle that enables public authorities to be able to procure works from local, as well as national Contractors. The scope of service for any appointed Contractor is to deliver on the below: • Achieving high levels of satisfaction • Delivering right first time, every time • A constant and relentless drive for value for money • Accessible and visible customer services, catering for all needs • Keeping customers constantly informed of service progress and being fully involved in service improvement. • Responding quickly to service failure and learning from complaints • To improve choice and flexibility around contractor and the methods of procurement. It is proposed that the term of this Framework will be for a period of 4 years from January 2027, with no option to extend.
