Summary of the contracting process

The Open University commissioned replacement of terrace decking at its Belfast site. The requirement covers the physical removal and replacement of terrace decking, classified as repair and maintenance services. It is a building-maintenance and external-works opportunity rather than a general supply contract. The buying organisation is The Open University, a public authority based at Walton Hall in Milton Keynes. The work itself is delivered in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Businesses whose core work includes terrace decking replacement, external refurbishment, repair, maintenance or associated building works would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is presented as a single terrace decking replacement item within the wider procurement.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure. One lot was completed. Andrew Bradley Limited was selected as supplier and received an award classified as services. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2027. Its value is £49,000 excluding VAT, or £58,800 including VAT. The process was evaluated and concluded under the stated below-threshold route. The awarded requirement is repair and maintenance services for the Belfast terrace decking replacement. The award is active and the contract is active, so this procurement records an established contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement provides a clear indication that The Open University buys specialist external building-maintenance work for its Belfast facilities. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical capability in terrace decking replacement, including the relevant repair, removal, installation and maintenance skills needed to deliver this type of work. Suppliers should be able to undertake a defined site-based requirement as a single package and demonstrate capacity appropriate to a contract of this scale. The selected supplier was classified as a large organisation, indicating that larger maintenance and construction businesses are positioned to compete for this type of requirement. Firms with a focused Belfast or Northern Ireland delivery capability would be well placed.
