UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the project titled "ENERGY HOUSE 2.0 - 1980'S TEST HOUSE". This project involves the design and construction of a test house in the style of a 1980s property within the environmental research and testing chambers located at the university's Energy House 2.0 on the Frederick Road Campus in Salford, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a limited method due to its below-threshold status, and the contract has already been awarded following the tender initiation, with the award date being on 23rd April 2026. The contract period is set to commence on 31st May 2026, concluding on 28th February 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms experienced in specialised builds, particularly those focusing on test and research facilities. Despite the limited procurement method that restricted competition, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in unique construction projects or have a strategic interest in collaborating with educational institutions for innovation and research could benefit significantly. Large construction companies like BARRATT REDROW PLC, which have ample resources and experience in delivering complex projects, are particularly well-suited to compete in this market. Working with academic institutions like the University of Salford can provide further growth opportunities through repeat business and partnerships in future research initiatives.
