Summary of the contracting process

Derby College Group sought a single contractor for plumbing room workshop and classroom alterations at the Stephenson Building on the Roundhouse Campus in Derby. The works form part of the college’s planned preventative maintenance and estates activity, intended to keep facilities safe, operational and suitable for campus maintenance and teaching activities. The requirement is refurbishment work, covering alterations to a plumbing workshop and classroom environment. Delivery is within the Roundhouse Campus, with the work carried out in accordance with applicable UK regulations and the operational demands of a further education campus. The buyer is Derby College Group, with AGM Procurement supporting the procurement and compliance process. This is a construction and building-refurbishment opportunity rather than a supply-only contract.

The procurement reached tender: Derby College Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic tender submission through the Education Portal. The enquiry deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00 and the tender deadline was 25 June 2026 at 10:00. The intended contract period was 6 July to 14 August 2026, with completion required by 14 August 2026. The estimated tender value was £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on price at 45% and quality at 55%, with the intention to appoint one contractor. The procurement is now terminated: the college decided on 3 August 2026 not to award a contract because the requirement would not be taken forward in its current form. It may be re-procured during the 2026/27 academic year.

This requirement suits established plumbing, building-services and refurbishment contractors able to alter workshop and classroom facilities within an operating further education campus. Relevant suppliers would need practical experience delivering refurbishment and plumbing-room alterations, coordinating work around operational and teaching requirements, and applying UK regulatory and safety standards. The scope is suited to a contractor capable of managing a complete single-contractor package rather than an isolated materials supply. Quality carried greater weight than price in the stated evaluation, so evidence of reliable workmanship, clear delivery planning and effective control of campus disruption would have been commercially relevant. The opportunity has been terminated, however, and no contract will be entered into under this reference. Suppliers may wish to monitor for a revised requirement during the 2026/27 academic year.
