Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University has extended its contract for the supply of building materials, tools, and hardware, which was initially awarded in 2023. The contract, associated with the procurement category of building materials, represents a significant financial commitment of £40,000 for a further year commencing on 1st August 2025, and concluding on 31st July 2026. This contract operates under a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and is situated in the West Midlands, UK. The award stage of the process was documented on 22nd October 2025, and the active supplier is Screwfix Direct Ltd, a large-scale enterprise.

This contractual extension presents a substantial opportunity for related businesses in the construction and supply sectors to position themselves as potential partners or subcontractors to service the needs of established entities such as Coventry University. Companies with expertise in the provision of building materials and related services that are not large-scale enterprises might find opportunities for collaboration with larger suppliers like Screwfix Direct Ltd. It's an ideal environment for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the education sector's supply chain, particularly those capable of delivering consistent quality and compliance with framework agreements.
