Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter has awarded the contract for the design, build, finance, and operation of student residences at Clydesdale & Birks Grange, located at Streatham Campus. This contract involves the development of approximately 1,790 new rooms, with 290 refurbished and 1,500 new builds, under the industry category of accommodation management services. The procurement throughout was governed by a competitive dialogue method, reflecting a selective procedure compliant with the relevant legal framework. The process spanned several stages: tender initiation, updates, and eventual awarding, with significant dates ranging from early 2022 to contract signing on 29th August 2025. Located in the UK region UKK, the project epitomises the University's commitment to enhancing its educational facilities within public law regulations.

This tender offers a multitude of opportunities for businesses involved in construction, finance, and residential property management to engage with one of the prestigious Russell Group institutions. Companies specialising in design, architectural services, and sustainable development would be adept at navigating the tender requirements, possibly leveraging future expansion options such as including additional bedrooms. With UPP Projects Ltd already active in the award, businesses aiming to contribute to high-quality, value-for-money student accommodation may consider similar opportunities in dialogue with large-scale providers like UPP. The prospective inclusion of facilities like social spaces and integrated plant rooms in accordance with planning permissions signals potential for innovative design and multifunctional construction approaches adaptable to evolving educational environments.
