Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leicester is undertaking a procurement process for the construction of Space Park Leicester, a new campus aimed at enhancing its capabilities in space and earth observation science. This project involves a net construction cost of £14 million, with future phases potentially amounting to £66 million. The tender is classified under the construction work category and is being executed via a selective procurement method known as a restricted procedure. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2019 and will run until 1st February 2021. The project is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period concluding on 5th August 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those specialising in large-scale developments, as it focuses on a substantial university project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector would especially benefit from participating in this procurement, given the likelihood of additional phases following the initial construction. Companies with expertise in design and build contracts and experience working with educational institutions would be well positioned to compete for the contract and contribute to the growth of the campus and the surrounding community.
