Caddick Construction has achieved a significant milestone by being appointed to the Department for Education's (DfE) new £15bn Construction Framework 2025.
This appointment marks the first time the contractor has held a formal role in the national school rebuilding programme, signalling a strategic expansion of its public sector portfolio.
The company successfully secured places on four separate lots within the next-generation framework. These lots cover projects valued between £4.4m and £12m across several key regions, including the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, as well as the North West and West Midlands.
The Construction Framework 2025 succeeds the previous 2021 iteration and is designed to facilitate the procurement of both new-build developments and refurbishment works. The programme places a heavy emphasis on sustainability and the integration of modern methods of construction (MMC). Under the framework, Caddick will be responsible for delivering a variety of facilities, including new-build primary schools, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) centres, classroom blocks, and small-scale secondary school expansions.
Paul Dodsworth, Group Managing Director of Caddick Construction Group, commented: "Being appointed to the Department for Education's Construction Framework 2025 is a fantastic milestone for us. It's the first time Caddick has been included on this framework, but we bring a long and proven track record of successful public sector project delivery across the North and Midlands.
"Our teams are specialists in delivering high quality and sustainable projects on time while prioritising innovation and value for money, and we're looking forward to bringing that expertise to the DfE school building programme. This appointment also strengthens the balance of our project portfolio across both the private and public sectors, supporting sustainable growth for the business in the years ahead."
This appointment adds to Caddick's growing presence on major procurement routes as the firm continues to target a robust pipeline of public sector infrastructure projects.
