Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria University has concluded a procurement process under the title "GB-Newcastle upon Tyne: T24/0001 Durant Hall - Design & Build". This initiative falls within the construction work for university buildings, with a focus on designing and redeveloping Durant Hall to offer specialised flexible teaching spaces. The contracting authority, Northumbria University, is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The procurement method utilised for this process was a direct award against the PAGABO AVP RKLT 2002 Framework, specifically Lot 3 Northumberland and Tyne & Wear. This stage reflects the award phase, with the contract being active as of 1st April 2025. The construction works are scheduled to start on 8th April 2025 and are anticipated to end by 31st March 2026, under a contract valued at £4,865,517.98, including VAT.

This project presents significant opportunities for large construction firms that specialise in developing educational and flexible spaces. Although the opportunity was taken up by Aptus Construction Limited, businesses with similar capabilities could look for future opportunities with Northumbria University or similar institutions. The focus on innovative and flexible teaching spaces can appeal to companies with expertise in modern architectural solutions and sustainable building practices. Despite the project being unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs due to its scale, there remains potential for sub-contracting opportunities throughout the North East region of the United Kingdom.
