Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured refurbishment works for 38 bathrooms at Juniper. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and falls within the construction and building-maintenance sector. Delivery was in the South West of England, with the university’s procurement function based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The work was a defined refurbishment package rather than a general supply contract, making it relevant to building contractors, property-maintenance companies and specialist refurbishment firms able to manage multiple bathroom installations as one project. The buyer is a university, so suppliers serving education estates or other institutional buildings may find the requirement particularly comparable to their existing work.

The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 7 July 2026. M E Building and Maintenance Limited was awarded the contract for £20,979, with the same amount recorded as the procurement value. The contract period ran from 8 July 2026 to 9 July 2026. The procurement method was recorded as “Other - Other; bvs”. The requirement was identified as works and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. No lot structure or separate award breakdown is recorded, so the stated value and outcome relate to the refurbishment package as a whole.

For a contractor reviewing future university estate requirements, this award demonstrates demand for packaged bathroom refurbishment rather than standalone maintenance visits. A credible competitor would need practical experience in bathroom refurbishment and building maintenance, with the workforce, supervision and supply-chain control to coordinate work across 38 bathrooms. The contract period indicates that the buyer valued a tightly managed delivery programme, so evidence of completing comparable institutional or occupied-estate projects with minimal disruption would strengthen a future response. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller building or maintenance business can compete for this type of work. Firms familiar with university estates, public-sector compliance and repeatable refurbishment delivery are the closest fit.
