Sub-lot 2B Education supports the delivery of construction and new build projects for schools, colleges and wider education estates. Covering value bands from £0-£5m and £5m+, it provides a compliant and flexible route to procure capital works that enhance learning environments, expand capacity and improve building performance.

This Lot forms part of Fusion21’s Refurbishment, Construction, New Build and Modular Buildings Framework and is designed specifically to meet the needs of the education sector.

 

Value Bands

Sub-lot 2B Education is divided into two value bands:

• £0-£5m
• £5m+

This structure ensures that projects of varying size and complexity are matched with appropriately experienced contractors. It also enables smaller, regionally based SMEs to compete for and deliver lower value schemes, strengthening local supply chains.

Required Accreditations

All appointed suppliers have been assessed during the framework tender process to ensure they meet required professional, financial and technical standards.

This includes verification of:

• Relevant construction and health and safety accreditations
• Insurance and financial standing
• Sector experience within education and public sector environments

These checks provide assurance that contractors can deliver compliant, high-quality education construction projects.
