Summary of the contracting process

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has completed a procurement process for the design and development of a Student Hub Event Space under the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy, and Ancillary Services Framework Agreement. The procurement, classified under the industry category of construction consultancy services, involves the creation of an event space including a bar and kitchen. The contract was awarded without prior publication of a competitive call, and Ridge and Partners LLP was the designated supplier. The contract, signed on 1st July 2025, is valued at £39,199. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically within the Portsmouth region, and the process falls under the “award” stage as per the Open Contracting Data Standard.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in multidisciplinary services and event space development. Companies with proven experience in project and cost management, as well as design expertise in educational and public event spaces, would find this contract notably beneficial. Additionally, the absence of a competitive tender process can streamline potential future collaborations for businesses already embedded within or familiar with NHS and educational sector frameworks. Ridge and Partners LLP's involvement demonstrates prospects for large-scale firms to secure similar contracts under existing framework agreements.
