Total Quantity or Scope

The Department for Education wishes to appoint a contractor for the provision of the Free Schools Support Service.

The programme has delivered hundreds of new schools and provided thousands of good new school places across the country. The contract is being tendered on the basis of a single round of mainstream approvals in 2022-23, though providers’ bids should demonstrate how their proposals could be scalable to deliver further rounds.
