Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield procured refurbishment works at Edgar Allen House on its Sheffield campus. The project covers alterations to the second and third floors, including changes to internal layouts, mechanical and electrical upgrades, improvements to existing toilet facilities and installation or alteration of fibre connections. It is a building refurbishment and fit-out requirement, classified under CPV 45453000 for overhaul and refurbishment work. The buyer is the University of Sheffield, based in Sheffield. The work combines construction and building-services activities, with a particular emphasis on adapting occupied or existing accommodation, upgrading infrastructure and improving welfare facilities. The requirement is therefore relevant to principal contractors and building refurbishment specialists able to coordinate multiple trades and deliver works within a university campus environment.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender closed on 29 May 2026 at 12:00. Its estimated value was £839,149 including the stated currency. The contract was awarded to ASSIX Limited on 19 August 2026 for £689,492. The awarded contract period runs from 6 September 2026 to 14 October 2026. The procurement was presented as a single refurbishment requirement rather than separate lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. Tenderers were expected to submit through the University’s electronic tendering process, and the procurement used the University’s open tender process. The award is active, with ASSIX Limited named as the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement indicates demand from the University of Sheffield for compact, multi-trade refurbishment projects within its estate. A credible future competitor would need to manage internal layout changes alongside mechanical and electrical upgrades, toilet refurbishment and fibre-installation works, coordinating trades and specialist subcontractors under one delivery plan. Experience working in education or other live institutional environments would help demonstrate control of access, site conditions, safety, sequencing and disruption. The work also favours contractors able to inspect existing buildings, identify interface risks and deliver building-services improvements with reliable programme management. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations indicates that smaller capable contractors, including those forming suitable delivery partnerships, may be able to compete when comparable requirements return.
