Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Dental School Refurbishment" project was facilitated by the University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation, focusing on construction consultancy services within the UK. Classified under the CPV code 71530000, the process was concluded with an award tagged as “active” on 24th March 2026. The tender was executed under a limited procurement method, specifically without prior competition publication, adhering to the NHS SBS Healthcare framework agreement. The signed contract totaled £37,875.52, with Ridge and Partners LLP being the awarded supplier, supported by a framework rationale that placed the procurement outside the directive's scope.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in multidisciplinary services related to construction and refurbishment. Given the scope defined under Lot 7 of the NHS SBS framework, professional service firms with expertise in project management, quantity surveying, MEP consulting, CDM principal designing, and BIM management will find this area particularly lucrative. Organisations already operating within the healthcare or construction consultancy sectors and capable of navigating framework agreements might benefit greatly and expand their portfolio in collaboration with public institutions like universities.
