Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College has completed a contract for the "STA-26052 Arts Building Ventilation" project, which involved the installation of a new ventilation and air conditioning system in the Arts Building. Located in Egham, United Kingdom, this project addressed the need for improved environmental conditions within the building's central core, which had previously struggled with excessive temperatures and limited cooling. The procurement was handled through a direct appointment, classified as below threshold without competition, primarily due to the urgency required to complete the work during the summer break. The procurement stage of this process now falls under the award and contract phases, with the contract signed on 19th June 2026 and works scheduled to commence on 27th July 2026, concluding by 21st August 2026.

The project presents opportunities for businesses specialising in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation work, particularly those capable of executing complex mechanical, electrical, and construction tasks within a constrained timeframe. BOURNESIDE ELECTRICAL SERVICES LTD, a supplier located in Harrow, acted as the contractor for this project, illustrating potential openings for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in similar procurement processes. Such opportunities could be beneficial for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in the public sector, especially those with experience in rapid deployment projects and the ability to handle installations that demand high standards of compliance and quality under tight deadlines.

Notice Title

STA-26052 Arts Building Ventilation

Notice Description

This requirement is for the installation of a new ventilation and air conditioning system in the Arts Building, including all associated design, compliance, and construction works required to deliver a fully operational solution. The Arts teaching space has struggled over the years to manage a reasonable user environment with excessive temperatures and limited cooling opportunities. This has been influenced with the room being position within the central core of the building, excess heat from the AV equipment and lack of mechanical interventions for fresh air circulation. This direct appointment is required due to the urgency to deliver the works within the limited window of the summer break, when the Arts Building and teaching spaces are largely unoccupied. The programme constraint is critical, as the installation involves significant mechanical, electrical, and builder's works that would be highly disruptive during term time, impacting teaching activities and health and safety.
