Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster University appointed a design-and-build fit-out contractor to create a new multifunctional collaboration space for the School of Mathematical Sciences. The work covers refurbishment and construction within the A Floor of the Charles Carter Building at the University’s Bailrigg campus in Lancaster. This is a building fit-out and refurbishment requirement, including the design and delivery of an internal educational and collaborative space. The buyer is Lancaster University, based in Lancaster. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work, with construction work as an additional category. Businesses operating in commercial fit-out, refurbishment, construction, interior delivery and design-and-build contracting would find the scope relevant, particularly those experienced in university or other occupied institutional environments.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Lancaster University awarded the contract to Overbury plc on 22 July 2026. The award value is recorded as £0. The awarded contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 14 December 2026. The original tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at 10:00. A site visit was scheduled for 2 July 2026 at 10:30. The opportunity was evaluated through the open tender process described in the invitation to tender. It was treated as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The award is active, and the contract period covers the delivery of the fit-out works for the Charles Carter Building collaboration space.

For a contractor assessing future university fit-out requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a complete design-and-build service combining refurbishment, construction coordination and delivery of a specialist collaborative learning space. A credible competitor would need the capacity to manage a defined internal transformation within a university building, translate an educational user brief into a functional finished environment, and coordinate design and construction through to completion. Relevant experience in higher education, institutional buildings, occupied campuses or technically managed refurbishment projects would strengthen a future offer. The successful supplier profile also indicates the value of established fit-out delivery capability, reliable programme management and the ability to work to a buyer’s detailed tender and site requirements.
