Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for Kendal College's building and construction work was initiated as an open competition, aimed at selecting a single supplier for the project. The tender was initially announced in November 2025, with key dates such as the enquiry period ending on 25 November 2025 and the tender period concluding on 5 December 2025. Kendal College, situated in Kendal, UK, served as the buying organisation. The college sought a supplier for works under the industry category of building construction, with the contract starting on 3 February 2026 and lasting until 3 February 2028, with a possible extension up to 3 August 2028. The procurement method employed was below threshold - open competition.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in building construction work. The contract's valuation, with an amount gross of £2,520,000, underscores the potential financial gains. With added criteria focusing 70% on quality and 30% on price, businesses capable of delivering high-standard construction services at competitive prices are ideal contenders. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, enabling diverse business types to participate and potentially expand their market reach through collaboration with a prominent educational institution like Kendal College.
