Tender: National Framework for Small to Medium Works 2027 — UK Public Sector Projects £0–£20m

About

The Education Alliance is seeking contractors to establish a National Framework for Small to Medium Works covering UK public sector construction projects valued between £0 and £20m. The framework will provide a Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) compliant procurement vehicle enabling public authorities to procure works from regional and national contractors and is proposed to run for four years from April 2027 with no option to extend. Appointed contractors will deliver general construction and building services work including new build, extensions, remodelling, refurbishment and retrofit, and the scope may also include specialist fit-out, renovation, planned remedial and repair work, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), civils, landscaping and associated site infrastructure. The framework applies across all lots and value bands for individual projects, parts or phases, batches or defined or loosely defined programmes, and emphasises high satisfaction, right-first-time delivery, value for money, accessible customer services, clear progress communication, responsive complaint handling and improved choice and flexibility around contractors and procurement methods.
