Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire completed a procurement process titled "Mini Competition SBS Framework ref SBS10190 - Multi Disciplinary Design Team" for infrastructure works consultancy services related to the construction of a new sports hall on their Luton Campus. The procurement fell under the services category and was conducted as a limited competition without prior publication of a call for competition. The award stage concluded on 5th December 2025 with the contract valued at £639,498.33 signed with RSK Environment Ltd. The procurement was executed through a mini competition following the SBS Framework with eight bids submitted, although the lot for the design services was ultimately cancelled.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in infrastructure consultancy services, particularly those specialising in design, cost analysis, and construction services for educational facilities. Businesses that are adept in handling complex municipal projects, similar to the development at the University of Bedfordshire, would be well-placed to benefit. Although this particular procurement is complete, similar opportunities could arise, providing a chance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like RSK Environment Ltd to expand their portfolio and engage in collaborations within the education sector. Businesses keen to engage in such tenders should stay informed about future framework agreements and mini competitions in the region.
