Summary of the contracting process

The University of Gloucestershire has successfully concluded its procurement process for the development of the City Campus Oxebode Gallery, with the contract awarded to Abbey Business Interiors Limited. This project involves building installation work on the Ground Floor of the City Campus and is categorised under 'works' in the industry sector. Located in Cheltenham, the campus is part of the region coded as "UKK13". The procurement followed a limited method, designed for contracts below a certain threshold, and has reached the Award stage. The contract began on 14th July 2026 and is expected to end on 31st August 2026. The total contract value amounts to £45,564.12 including taxes.

This tender provides significant business opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Abbey Business Interiors Limited, which emerged successfully from a competitive process with several bids received. Businesses specialising in construction, particularly building installation work, would have been well-suited to compete in this tender due to its focus on creating a new gallery space. The limited competition procurement method may offer a strategic advantage to smaller businesses, allowing them to thrive by participating in more focused, less crowded bidding environments.
