In plain English
The Education Alliance is setting up a four-year national framework, running from April 2027, that lets public sector bodies across the UK buy construction and building works worth between £0 and £20m. The framework is worth an estimated £2 billion and is open to both national and regional contractors. Work includes new builds, extensions, refurbishments and retrofits, with some secondary work such as electrical, plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (MEP), civil engineering and landscaping.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver construction and building services works of £0 to £20m for public sector buyers, either as individual projects, phases, batches or ongoing programmes of work. • Achieve high customer satisfaction, get work right first time, and keep customers informed of progress and involved in service improvement. • Respond quickly to service failures, learn from complaints, and offer value for money.
Lots
- Lot 1 - £0 to £20m
- £0 to £1m
- Lot 3 - £1m to £5m
- £5m to £10m
- £10m to £20m
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state specific financial, insurance or accreditation thresholds, but because the framework covers projects up to £20m and is open to national contractors, a small business would need to show it can take on that scale of work, and the full entry requirements are in the Invitation to Tender, which this summary does not cover.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
