Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln procured refurbishment works at its Minerva Building in Lincoln, East Midlands. The purpose was to support the relocation of Professional Services staff. The requirement covered the appointment of a contractor to deliver a defined programme of building refurbishment, categorised as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100). This was a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The buyer is the University of Lincoln, and delivery was centred on its Minerva Building. The requirement provides a clear example of the university’s demand for contractor-led refurbishment and construction work associated with adapting or improving its estate for changing operational needs.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 June 2026. The tender deadline was 23 June 2026 at 11:00. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the SCAPE Regional Construction Framework, Lot 4, rather than an open competition. The contract was awarded to Lindum Group Limited for £991,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 25 September 2026, covering a 12-week programme of works. The opportunity was classified as works, with refurbishment as its stated classification. The award is active and the tender status is complete. Participation was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates that the University of Lincoln uses established construction frameworks to appoint sizeable refurbishment contractors for estate relocation projects. Suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer would need proven building refurbishment and construction delivery capability, with the capacity to manage a complete programme in an occupied or operational university environment where staff relocation is involved. Credibility would also depend on being an eligible contractor under the relevant SCAPE Regional Construction Framework route, or on having a realistic framework-partnering or supply-chain position. The successful supplier was classified as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs, so competitors should be prepared to demonstrate substantial organisational capacity, programme management and reliable delivery of building works.
