Guildmore’s Construction Business Unit Win London and South East Lots on the £15bn School Rebuilding Programme.
The appointment forms part of the Department for Education’s eight-year framework, which will support up to £15bn of investment through the national School Rebuilding Programme, focused on refurbishing and renewing schools most in need of improvement across England.
As a regional delivery team, Guildmore has secured all tendered places on the Lower Value Band (LVB) lots, covering the following project values and locations:
• Projects valued between £4.4m and £12m in London
• Projects valued between £4.4m and £12m in the South East
In total, 23 contractors have been appointed nationally to the Construction Framework 2025, with seven regional delivery teams selected to deliver projects across the London and South East LVB lots.
The DfE procurement process is scheduled to commence in January 2026 through a combination of direct allocation and mini competition, enabling early engagement, cost certainty and efficient programme development.
Gareth Phillips, Construction Business Unit Director, said:
“We look forward to supporting the Department for Education over the coming years through this framework, which gives us the opportunity to contribute in renewing and driving lasting improvements across school buildings in the London and South East Communities.
“We are fully aligned with the Department’s plans to revitalise and modernise schools in greatest need of investment, ensuring that every student and member of staff benefits from safe, inspiring, and state-of-the-art learning spaces.”
