Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth has awarded a contract for the extension and refurbishment of Hepworth House to facilitate the new Centre of Eyecare Excellence within the School of Health Professions. This project, classified under the industry category of "overhaul and refurbishment work," is valued at approximately £4.58 million GBP. The procurement process, conducted using an open procedure, reached the award stage on 2nd May 2025 with the contract running from 1st May 2025 through to 30th September 2027. The work location is primarily based in Plymouth, Devon, with potential delivery across various international regions such as British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in the construction and refurbishment sectors. SMEs will find this project particularly suitable due to its size and requirements, whereas larger enterprises might have already capitalised on the opportunity, given that Obedair Ltd, identified as a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract. The involvement in such projects could bolster a company's portfolio within the construction and building refurbishment industry, paving the way for future projects of similar scale and expertise. Furthermore, participation in tenders from reputable institutions like the University of Plymouth could enhance business reputation and open doors to further collaborations and contracts.
