Caledonian tops £300m ‘modular C’ schools framework

Caledonian and its partner architects HLM has secured first place on the Education and Skills Funding Agency modular framework for the secondary schools block replacement programme.

The Newark-based offsite specialist secured top spot against 64 other bidders at PQQ stage and then against a shortlist of five at bid stage for the Batch C Modular Framework.

It is the third framework agreement for offsite construction from the ESFA in a plan to revolutionise the way education buildings are specified, procured and delivered.

Modular A covered whole primary school buildings and Modular B primary school blocks and extensions. The Modular C programme will be the most ambitious programme to date for secondary schools

As a result Caledonian immediately secures two projects with a combined value of £12m with potential to realise further schemes within the £250m funding allocated to the main lot for big projects up to £20m.

It is understood that Styles & Wood and McAvoy have also won places on the framework.

A second lot involves a bundle of smaller projects of around 16,000 sq ft, worth up to £15m.

This has the potential future pipeline of £50m.

Paul Lang, Caledonian CEO said: “Our success in this award comes from developing an exemplar design solution, working in partnership with education specialist Architects HLM, to address the needs of the ESFA within their funding envelope while demonstrating our capability and capacity to deliver.”

“The Caledonian solution developed for this commission coupled with our standard processes, systems and in-house technology helps clients to reduce risk, save time and optimise the speed and efficiency benefits of offsite construction.”

He added: “2019 will see organic growth in our business building on exemplary performance from 2018 and we are actively bolstering our teams to support this new business growth.

This is supported by recent capital investments in factory and process improvements including improved MRP/ERP systems.”
