This aligns with the Estates Strategy, supporting Education Estates Directorate’s (EED) vision for a safe, sustainable and sufficiently sized estate that enables brilliant education and care outcomes. Condition Data Collection (CDC) programmes have successfully provided a credible picture of the condition of the school and college estate, informing the Department's ability to allocate funding where most needed. We want to build on these, whilst delivering the objectives of the EED Data Strategy, to support RBs to collect the full range of data they need to manage their estate (wider than condition). ## CPV classification Building surveying servicesArchitectural and building-surveying servicesBuilding-inspection services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-069c92-2026-10-08T16:07:02+01:00 [View official notice ](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-069c92-2026-10-08T16:07:02+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
