Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford initiated a public procurement process for the refurbishment of University House, a project aimed at enhancing professional services and student break out spaces in Salford. Categorised under the construction industry, this project was executed in the North of the Peel Park campus. The procurement was conducted through an open competition, designated as below threshold, with John Turner Construction Group Limited awarded the contract as of 12th June 2025. The first phase of the works aimed to complete by the end of the University's 2024/2025 financial year, which spanned from 2nd July to 30th September 2025. The contract, valued at £443,505.60, involved comprehensive refurbishment efforts, focusing on areas such as the building entrance, atrium, and the creation of a wellbeing area, with the need to meet the deadline of 1st July 2025 for contract signature. Key procurement milestones were achieved, showcasing a structured approach from planning through to the award stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those skilled in refurbishment projects. As the initiative is structured to be executed across two phases, it allows businesses to plan for continued engagements. The preference shown for SMEs, evidenced by five of the six bids reaching the final stage, highlights an inclination towards engaging smaller, local construction firms. The project’s focus on experience, resource management, and sustainability further outlines opportunities for businesses excelling in these areas. Engaging with this tender could facilitate business growth by forming partnerships with a prominent institution like the University of Salford, thereby enhancing reputation and gaining significant financial projects.
