Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Beckett University procured external redecoration works and repairs to various buildings across its Headingley and City campuses in Leeds. The requirement is a works contract covering building exterior decoration and associated repair activities, classified under CPV 45451000 (decoration work). The university is the buyer and the work is delivered at its two Leeds campuses. The procurement comprises one requirement covering the university’s buildings at both locations. This is relevant to contractors providing commercial or institutional external painting, redecoration and building repair services, particularly those able to organise and deliver works across multiple buildings within a university estate.

The procurement was completed through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to Novus Property Solutions Limited for £700,000 gross. The award was made on 20 July 2026, with the awarded contract period running from 31 July 2026 to 29 October 2027. The tender closed on 15 June 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 9 June 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation ranked total cost first, followed by resources, technical ability and experience, methodology, and programme. Five bids were received, with four reaching the final stage, including one from an SME. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, and electronic submission was allowed.

This award indicates demand from Leeds Beckett University for planned external redecoration and repair work across a multi-campus building estate. Businesses well placed for comparable requirements would be able to manage commercial building-exterior works, coordinate resources across several sites, and demonstrate relevant technical ability and experience. A credible competitor would also need a clear methodology for carrying out the works, together with a practical programme showing how activities would be sequenced and managed. Price was the leading evaluation consideration, but quality factors were also decisive: the supplier’s resources, experience, proposed methodology and programme were assessed alongside total cost. The opportunity therefore suits established painting, redecoration and building repair contractors with strong project planning and delivery capability.
