Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University commissioned refurbishment works for its Gardens residences in the South West of England. The requirement covered redecoration of the residences and installation of new bedroom flooring. This is a construction and building refurbishment opportunity, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The work is intended to improve the internal finish and condition of residential accommodation used by the university. Businesses operating in commercial redecoration, building refurbishment, internal finishing and flooring installation would have relevant experience for this requirement. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based in Bath, and the delivery area is identified as the South West of England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Alfred Bagnall & Sons (West) Ltd. The award was made on 15 February 2024, following a tender deadline of 15 February 2024 at 11:00 UTC. The university used a direct award because of insufficient tender returns. The awarded value was £477,655.20. The contract period ran from 16 February 2024 to 8 October 2025. The contract covered the full requirement for residence redecoration and new bedroom flooring. The published process identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

This award shows that Bath Spa University buys substantial, coordinated refurbishment work for residential accommodation, combining decorative renewal with flooring installation. A credible future competitor would need to manage multiple internal finishing trades, plan work across occupied or operational university residences, and deliver consistent quality across a sizeable programme. Relevant capability includes commercial painting and redecoration, preparation and repair of internal surfaces, bedroom flooring installation, site coordination, health and safety management, scheduling and handover. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist contractors or collaborative teams may be well placed where they can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity. Experience of education, residential or other institutional refurbishment would strengthen a supplier’s position.
