Summary of the contracting process

Askham Bryan College appointed a contractor for refurbishment and remodelling of its Science Block at the college in Askham Bryan, York. The requirement covers structural works, building construction, building alterations and building completion activities. The work is categorised as construction works and is intended to improve and adapt an existing educational building rather than provide a standalone service or supply goods. The delivery location is associated with the college’s YO23 3FR site in England. This is a single-building project for contractors able to manage coordinated refurbishment and remodelling works in an operational educational setting, including structural elements and the associated completion trades needed to finish the facility.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 28 June 2026. Askham Bryan College awarded the contract to RK Building Solutions Ltd on 17 July 2026 for £591,729. The contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 19 October 2026. The award is active and covers the Science Block refurbishment and remodelling works. The published procurement information identifies the successful supplier and the awarded value, with the contract starting before the award was recorded. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot split is indicated, so the award relates to the requirement as a whole.

For firms reviewing this buyer’s future construction requirements, the award demonstrates demand for a substantial, concentrated refurbishment project at a further-education college. A credible competitor would need to act as a suitably qualified principal building contractor, with the capacity to coordinate structural works, alterations, construction and completion trades within one project. Relevant experience in remodelling existing educational or comparable public buildings would help demonstrate understanding of complex refurbishment interfaces, sequencing, site management and handover. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist regional contractors or capable smaller main contractors may be well placed where they can show adequate delivery resources, competent project management and a reliable supply chain for the full range of building works.
