It will be used mainly for primary and secondary schools and early years provisions, although colleges and universities will be included in the scope.
The council currently runs an approved list for these type of projects but wants to reduce the line-up to a smaller group of firms with a track record of operating in live education environments.
Invitations to tender will go out in February next year for four lots covering projects up to £1m, between £1m-£2.5m, up to £4m and contracts above this threshold.
