GRAHAM has been appointed to the Department for Education’s (DfE) Construction Framework (CF25), securing a place in the High Value Band (HVB) for both the North and South regions.
This success builds on GRAHAM’s role as an incumbent partner on the DfE’s previous Construction Framework (CF21), where the business is successfully delivering a range of major education projects across England.
The £15bn framework will drive the delivery of major capital projects across England’s education estate. CF25 will run for six years from January 2026, with the option to extend by a further two years.
This achievement places GRAHAM among a select group of contractors trusted to deliver large‑scale, complex projects that will shape the future of educational infrastructure nationwide. Under CF25, the DfE will deliver an extensive programme of new-build, refurbishment and modernisation projects as part of its long‑term investment strategy.
Mark Lynch, Managing Director at GRAHAM, said: “Securing a place on both the North and South High Value Bands of the CF25 Framework is a significant milestone and reflects our long-standing commitment to excellence in the education sector. We look forward to continuing to work with the DfE to deliver innovative, sustainable learning environments that will benefit communities for generations to come.”
GRAHAM has a strong track record in delivering transformational education projects across the UK, with a continued focus on collaboration, sustainability and social value. Inclusion on the CF25 Framework further strengthens the company’s position as a trusted delivery partner for high‑value public‑sector programmes.
Work delivered through the framework will support the DfE’s mission to provide learning environments that are safe, sustainable, resilient, and appropriately designed and sized to meet the needs of pupils, teachers, and local communities.
