UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Kent procured works to replace windows at the Rutherford Extension, specifically Rutherford College. The requirement covers the supply and installation of replacement windows, with the primary work being window installation. Delivery is at the University’s site in the UKJ4 area of England. The buyer is the University of Kent, based in Canterbury, Kent. This is a building works requirement rather than a general supply contract, and would suit contractors involved in commercial or institutional window replacement, glazing and associated installation work. The awarded supplier’s scope also covers related works under the successful contract, indicating that the buyer may use the same arrangement for comparable building work connected with this requirement.

The procurement was an awarded, completed below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 13 February 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 9 February 2026. One lot was awarded to Granville Noise Insulators Limited on 12 March 2026. The award value was £170,000 excluding VAT (£204,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 22 June to 18 September 2026, with an extension or renewal provision allowing related works until 13 August 2027. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. Ten bids were recorded, with one valid bid reaching the final stage. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Kent for specialist window replacement and installation at an institutional site, at a scale suitable for an established small or medium-sized contractor. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity to survey, supply and install replacement windows, manage works within an occupied university environment and deliver to agreed quality standards. The evaluation shows that price is important, but quality carries substantial weight, so evidence of workmanship, installation methodology, programme control, health and safety and reliable project delivery would strengthen a response. Contractors able to undertake related building works alongside window installation may be better placed for the buyer’s wider requirement. Experience of comparable education, public-sector or commercial premises would also be relevant.
