Summary of the contracting process

York St John University initially launched a tender process, titled "WINDOW REPLACEMENT WORKS," to procure the replacement of single glazed windows with modern, energy-efficient units at the Ripon Wing building. The project aimed to ensure the new installations were in harmony with the historic structure of the building. The procurement fell under the industry category "Windows, doors and related items," with a gross value of £200,000. While the tender was slated to follow a two-stage procedure with an ITT inviting creative solutions, it was unfortunately cancelled as of 3rd November 2025, as the proposals did not align with the University's strategic objectives. The process included deadlines for expression of interest by 15th September 2025 and a contract period projected to run from 17th November 2025 to 18th May 2026.

This window replacement project presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-quality, bespoke window solutions, especially those capable of accommodating historical and architectural sensitivities. The tender required firms with innovative design capabilities, adept at proposing energy-efficient solutions compatible with existing structures. Businesses experienced in similar historical building renovations and possessing an understanding of sustainability and efficiency improvements would have thrived under this competitive flexible procedure. The University's focus on creativity and collaboration indicated an openness to varied approaches, providing a mutually beneficial platform for capable suppliers to develop and showcase pioneering solutions.

Notice Title

WINDOW REPLACEMENT WORKS

Notice Description

The University seeks to engage suppliers capable of delivering innovative and high-quality solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of this project for the replacement of single glazed windows with modern, energy efficient units in our Ripon Wing building. The expectation is that this exercise will establish a collaborative partnership that enhances efficiency, sustainability, and value for money while aligning with the strategic objectives of the University. The vision of the project is the replacement of existing "crittal" windows and timber frames with a solution sympathetic to the historic nature of the building and its surroundings, matching existing glazing patterns where possible. This includes existing access doors and high-level emergency egress doors. A section of historic stained glass in an existing window will need to be retained within any new solution. The work is to be carried out in a single continuous operation unless a timetabling conflict dictates otherwise.

Stage 1 will see an ITT asking for possible solutions (this document) as the University is yet to decide on a final specification for this work. The University invites creativity at this stage and is open to different solutions being proposed to meet our needs. As the solution may not be entirely fully formed at this point, we anticipate that pricing will only be indicative but nonetheless will be reasonable and evidence-based for what is being described. The University will evaluate all the solutions proposed in Stage 1. Depending on the solutions offered, bidders may be asked to submit samples of materials or to attend in person to clarify their solution. These may not be essential for all solutions, however. Bidders who are awarded less than 50% in the Stage 1 scoring, will not be invited to participate in Stage 2 and the University will draft a final, definitive specification at this point. The University will notify bidders promptly if they will not be asked to participate in this tender any further. The evaluation scoring and weighting may need to be modified at this point accordingly. If the nature of the final specification justifies modifying the anticipated timescales for the tender, they also may be modified at this point. The University will then issue a revised ITT, with a definitive specification asking for firm and finalised pricing. The University will only invite selected bidders who have participated in Stage 1 to submit proposals in Stage 2."
