Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire has completed the contract for refurbishing the Paramedic Skills Labs at its Bedford Campus. This procurement process, categorised under the works industry, involved a limited competition method under a below-threshold tender. Situated in Luton, UK, the contract was awarded on 21st July 2025, with the refurbishment items classified under CPV code 45453100 for refurbishment work. The contract is set to commence on 6th August 2025 and conclude by 5th September 2025, marking the completion of the award stage in the procurement lifecycle.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in refurbishment and construction, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in educational environments. Given that the process involved a limited competition, companies with a specialisation in delivering complex refurbishments within tight timelines are well-suited to engage in such opportunities. Moreover, the successful bid by Stonepoint Limited, an SME and VCSE from Stotfold, highlights the potential for smaller entities to secure substantial contracts with public undertakings like the University of Bedfordshire.
