Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "University House Refurbishment - Wayfinding, look and feel" was conducted by the University of Salford, a public authority operating under sub-central government classification. This project falls within the services category and is located in Salford, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open, below-threshold competition with key submissions concluding by 25th April 2025. The contract was awarded on 6th May 2025 to Nectar Creative Limited, with the contract period running from 1st June 2025 to 31st August 2025, involving design and preparation services in the field of project and design estimation.

This tender presents various opportunities for businesses specialising in design, signage, furniture, and refurbishment services. Given the project's focus on signage and aesthetic integration, companies that possess expertise in branding and interior enhancements would find this an ideal growth opportunity. Large companies like Nectar Creative Limited, which has already been awarded the contract, indicate the project's complexity and scale, suggesting that other large or specialised firms might also benefit from engaging in similar opportunities offered by the University of Salford or other similar public authorities. Additionally, businesses that can offer innovative design solutions or scalable branding integrations will be particularly well-suited to compete in this sector.
