Red Kite Learning Trust · Local or regional public body

In brief

Red Kite Learning Trust 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 £460,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 27 April 2027.

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

Framework
