Summary of the contracting process

The University of Kent procured works to replace the roof covering on Block L at Keynes College. The requirement covers roofing and associated specialist construction work, including roof repair and maintenance. The work is for the university’s estate in Canterbury, Kent. The buyer is the University of Kent, with procurement managed for its university operations. This is a building and construction opportunity for roofing contractors, principal contractors and specialist trade firms able to deliver roof-covering replacement works on an institutional campus. The requirement is classified under CPV 45260000 for roof works and other special trade construction works, with CPV 45261900 covering roof repair and maintenance work. The procurement concerned one complete requirement rather than separately described work packages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 13 February 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 9 February 2026. Fifteen bids were received. The contract was awarded to M & J Group (Construction & Roofing) Ltd on 9 March 2026, with the contract signed on 18 March 2026. The award and contract value was £99,619 excluding VAT, or £119,542 including VAT. The contract period runs from 22 June 2026 to 14 August 2026, with a maximum extent to 13 August 2027. The University of Kent evaluated bids on quality, weighted at 40%, and price, weighted at 60%. The contract includes an option for related works during the additional period.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for institutional roof-covering replacement and related roofing works at the University of Kent. It also shows that the buyer uses an open competition for below-threshold construction requirements and that the field can attract substantial competition, with 15 bids recorded. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in roof repair, maintenance and replacement, together with the resources to manage specialist construction work on a university campus. Evidence of high-quality workmanship would matter because quality represented 40% of the evaluation, while competitive pricing was the larger 60% component. Roofing specialists, construction contractors and SMEs with suitable delivery capacity and relevant estate or education-sector experience would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
