We’ve collaborated using this framework to deliver more than £350m of school building projects since 2018.
As one of the UK’s largest school building contractors we have been working with the Department for Education (DfE) since 2018 via their construction framework, and in November 2021 we were reappointed onto their latest framework.
We are one of the top performing partners on the DfE construction framework, which plays an integral role in the government’s school rebuilding, academies and free school programmes, and it is also being used to deliver further education colleges.
Other government departments and contracting authorities with the agreement of DfE may also use the framework for non-school schemes.
We hold positions on all eight lots of the Medium Value Band, providing coverage across England on projects ranging from £6m to £12m in value. This can be extended down to £5m and up to £16m, and batching is available.
A focus on net zero in operation
A key objective of the DfE construction framework is to drive sustainability and the decarbonisation of their estate, with an emphasis placed on achieving net zero carbon in operation across our contracted projects. This is complimentary to our award winning people, planet, performance strategy which commits to delivering all new buildings and major refurbishments in achieving net zero operational carbon by 2030.
