This programme would focus on the condition and sustainability of buildings across the Education Estate in England, working closely with those responsible for their estate (Local Authorities, Academy Trusts, Dioceses etc.). \nThis programme is projected to include procurement of strategic, regional delivery partners who will provide construction technical advisory services related to school building condition, sustainability, project management, procurement services, technical and cost management and assurance services, architectural and design services, energy related services and building services.  Subsequent procurements would be expected for construction works suppliers to deliver identified interventions, including the delivery of modular buildings on the Education Estate. The DfE team will be hosting an online market engagement session on 2 December at 15:00 GMT to share details on the scope of work required to support the programme and seek feedback on DfE’s approach. This will be followed by opportunities to ask questions. \nSee the additional information for details on how to register your interest in attending the market engagement and for details on joining the CCS DPS Framework.

This PIN is intended to inform the market of a potential procurement exercise to appoint suppliers to work with the Department on providing the outlined service."
