Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process was undertaken by the University of Gloucestershire, aiming to develop a new Dental Hub within its Park campus in Cheltenham, identified by the tender reference UOG/25/800b/REO. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically mechanical engineering services, marking its completion with an award on 19th December 2025. This contract, with a gross value of £53,184, was tendered using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature and was subsequently awarded to Couch Perry & Wilkes LLP, an SME based in Solihull.
