Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University, a sub-central government public authority, recently completed a procurement process titled "Scarborough Flood Works" within the services industry category, specifically targeting repair and maintenance activities. The contracting process was due to an urgent need resulting from a flood incident at the university's Scarborough campus. This emergency led to a direct award method being utilised, by-passing normal tendering procedures due to its unforeseen nature. The procurement aimed at prompt site reinstatement works includes various construction and maintenance tasks to ensure the building's readiness for student occupancy by the onset of the academic session on 1st September 2025. The completed contract was executed between 19th August and 31st August 2025, valued at £216,830.44.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, repair, and site maintenance, emphasising the importance of rapid response capabilities given the urgent nature of the project. Ideal contenders for similar projects would include small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in emergency repair services and those able to effectively manage tight timelines and complex, multi-disciplinary works. As such, companies with strong portfolios in urgent infrastructure repair and the capacity to mobilise resources quickly can gain substantial growth opportunities through successful participation in similar public sector contracts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Scarborough Flood Works

Notice Description

Coventry University Group has an urgent requirement for the provision of strip-out and reinstatement works, including site mobilisation, site supervision, removal and disposal of internal finishes and fixtures, M&E disconnections/reconnections, installation of new plasterboard walls, joinery, kitchenette, splashbacks, and decorations. Works include accommodation, waste disposal, final cleaning, and reinstatement of building contents.

Procurement Information

Due to a flood incident in one of the buildings on our Scarborough campus, urgent reinstatement works are required to ensure the premises are safe and operational for student occupancy from 1st September. Given the unforeseen nature and urgency of the situation, Schedule 2, Part 2 of the Procurement Act 2023, which allows exemptions for urgent and unforeseeable requirements, this procurement is being treated as an emergency, permitting direct award without full tendering. The works exceed the sub-central authority threshold (PS214,904), but the emergency nature of the requirement justifies direct award without full tendering. This approach ensures timely completion and mitigates risks associated with delayed occupancy.
