Notice Title

Floor Coverings

Notice Description

The University is seeking experienced floor covering Contractors, that can provide both expert advice and high quality floor covering installations.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NTU is undertaking a procurement process to identify and appoint a number of suppliers to provide both expert advice and high quality floor covering installations, across all of our NTU campuses and to cover all buildings where required. The University anticipates awarding three Suppliers to the framework, but reserves the right to award to additional suppliers, following evaluation of the tenders if appropriate. The University will carry out a further competition (mini-tender) for each works package in order to identify and appoint a Contractor for each individual project but further reserves the right to appoint a Contractor direct for a project if required, for example, there is urgent requirement and insufficient time to tender, or the requirement is best served by one particular Contractor. The University will only adopt this approach if absolutely necessary.
