Summary of the contracting process

The University of Huddersfield, located in Queensgate, Huddersfield, United Kingdom, embarked on a procurement process for the refurbishment of Level 10 of the Schwann Building, focusing on office spaces. Under the open procurement method, the contracting authority sought a contractor to manage alterations to layout, technical upgrades to electrical and data systems, and updates of finishes such as flooring, decoration, and ceiling tiles. The procurement process, below the threshold for open competition, progressed from tender initiation to contract award, with Lodestone Projects (Leeds) Limited being the successful supplier. The tender phase was active from 12 September to 10 October 2025, while the subsequent contract period spanned from 3 November to 19 December 2025, with the award concluded on 5 December 2025.

This project presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the refurbishment and construction sectors, particularly those with expertise in office design and technical upgrades. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in interior design, electrical systems, and data infrastructure are well-positioned to compete in such tenders. The emphasis on quality alongside competitive pricing suggests that businesses focused on delivering high-quality workmanship while maintaining cost-effectiveness could thrive in similar procurement opportunities. Engaging in projects with academic institutions like the University of Huddersfield can not only boost business profiles but also provide avenues for future collaborations within the educational sector.
