Summary of the contracting process

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has successfully completed the procurement process for the Wiltshire Building Works Tender, involving the refurbishment of an existing building to create an office area with consultation facilities and replace the roof. This process falls under the works category, employing a limited procurement method, signifying a below threshold and limited competition procurement strategy. The contract, valued at approximately £4.3 million, commenced on 8th September 2025 and is anticipated to conclude by 27th March 2026, with potential for extension. The project is situated in the UKJ3 region of the United Kingdom, with Quinn (London) Limited being the appointed supplier and Ridge and Partners LLP acting as the procuring entity.

Businesses with expertise in construction, project management, and technical evaluation in alignment with limited competition procurement processes may find this sector conducive to expansion and securing future projects through demonstration of proficiency in handling large, complex assignments.
