Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has completed the award stage of a public procurement process titled "Floor Coverings," within the works industry category. The procurement aims to secure services for high-quality floor covering installations, extending over NTU's campuses and applicable buildings. The open procedure commenced with tender submissions concluding on 10th January 2025. The awarded framework, valued at £930,000, spans from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2029, and allows for a 2-year contract period with the possibility of two 12-month extensions. The procurement targets locations across the United Kingdom and extends internationally. As part of the tender, NTU reserved the right to appoint directly due to urgent requirements or suitability to a particular contractor.

This opportunity offers significant growth potential for businesses specializing in floor coverings, particularly those capable of delivering expert installations and advice. The comprehensive framework is well-suited for larger enterprises, as reflected in the award to prominent suppliers such as BK Flooring Services Limited, Crown Flooring Limited, J Slack Flooring Ltd, and Morris & Spottiswood Limited. SMEs may find suitable opportunities through participation in mini-tenders for individual projects. The contract's substantial timeframe and value provide ample opportunity for businesses to establish a consistent revenue stream and expand their footprint within the educational infrastructure sector. Businesses focusing on quick and high-quality delivery will thrive under the additional direct appointment clause for urgent projects.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Floor Coverings

Notice Description

NTU is undertaking a procurement process to identify and appoint a number of suppliers to provide both expert advice and high quality floor covering installations, across all of our NTU campuses and to cover all buildings where required. The University anticipates awarding three Suppliers to the framework, but reserves the right to award to additional suppliers, following evaluation of the tenders if appropriate. The University will carry out a further competition (mini-tender) for each works package in order to identify and appoint a Contractor for each individual project but further reserves the right to appoint a Contractor direct for a project if required, for example, there is urgent requirement and insufficient time to tender, or the requirement is best served by one particular Contractor. The University will only adopt this approach if absolutely necessary. The Contract will run for a period of 2 years, with the option for 2 x 12 month extensions, taking it to a total of 4 years.
