Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bradford, a public authority in West Yorkshire, has recently completed the procurement process for the "Sports Centre Refurbishment" project. This contract involved refurbishing shower areas and updating various facilities within the university's sports centre to improve usage and maintenance. The procurement process followed a below-threshold limited competition approach and is now in the award stage, with the contract having been awarded to Bermar Building Co Ltd. The contract commenced on 18th June 2026 and is expected to run until 18th June 2027. The project primarily falls under the 'works' category, with a gross contract value of £501,169.20.
