Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford, a public authority in Salford, UK, has recently completed the procurement process for external doors and entrance lobby works at the Clifford Whitworth Library. The contract, which follows an open procurement method below the threshold, has been awarded to Schofield & Sons. This initiative focuses on the construction category, with work scheduled between 20th June and 1st August 2025. The process progressed from the tender stage to the award stage, with the award notice published on 2nd May 2025, and a total of five bids were received during the tender stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms involved in construction and refurbishment works, especially those experienced in working with university infrastructure. SMEs could particularly benefit, as they are well-suited to compete, given the procurement's compatibility with smaller enterprises. The project involves replacing entrance doors and refurbishing the lobby area, including installing new sliding doors and enhancing access control systems. Engaging in such projects can enable businesses to expand their portfolio and gain prestige by working with a respected educational institution.
