The Education Funding Agency is inviting contractors to bid for a pilot framework to design and build primary schools using offsite building elements.
Sixteen schools will initially be built under the framework with further schemes expected as work progresses, taking total spend to £95m.
The framework will be delivered in two lots covering initially a bundle of four larger schools worth £12m and a dozen smaller school projects worth £11m, which will be split into two batches.
Originally the Education Funding agency has planned to use one offsite supplier, but now it plans to appoint six firms, a preferred and reserve contractor for each bundle.
The schools are being brought through in the first schools under the second wave of the priority schools programme.
EFA aim to develop and apply the solutions developed under this framework to the larger secondary school block programme.
The procurement documents are available free of charge from the Delta eSourcing portal. Shortlisted firms will be invited to bid in April.
