Summary of the contracting process

The University of Derby has completed the award stage for the contract titled "University of Derby - Derby Theatre Extension & Refurbishment," with a focus on building extension work within the industry category. The project, located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, was pursued through a selective procurement method, primarily a mini-competition within the Procure Partnerships Framework for construction works valued between £5 million and £15 million. The awarded contract, valued at £11.5 million, follows the tender period that concluded on 29th April 2026, with the contract starting on 22nd May 2026 and expected to be completed by 31st March 2028. Speller Metcalfe has been awarded the contract, and the award was published on 5th June 2026.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, especially for large construction firms specialising in building extensions, as it was awarded through a framework agreement that favours companies familiar with similar procurement processes. Businesses operating within the East Midlands region or those with experience in large-scale construction projects are particularly well-placed to benefit from participating in similar future tenders or partnerships. The selective nature of the procurement process, focusing on a framework agreement, suggests a preference for firms with proven expertise and capacity to manage substantial projects.
