UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Durham College has initiated a public procurement process for the refurbishment of its Pavilion building located in Co Durham, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the construction work category and is being conducted through an open competition procurement method, which is below the threshold. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 27th October 2025. The expected start and end dates for the project are from 3rd November 2025 to 3rd April 2026. The estimated contract value is £150,000, reflecting an amended allocation from the initially estimated £125,000. Proposal submissions are to be made to the specified emails before the deadline.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector work. The project prioritises both quality and price equally in its award criteria, offering a competitive edge to businesses that can deliver high-quality work at cost-effective rates. With detailed specifications provided in the tender documents, firms with expertise in building refurbishments and a comprehensive understanding of the project’s requirements are well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender also provides a platform to build a strong relationship with a sub-central government authority like East Durham College, which could lead to further opportunities in the future.
