Summary of the contracting process

The University of Winchester commissioned refurbishment works for its Multi-Media Centre. The scope covers construction and building-services improvements, including electrical and lighting upgrades, new ceilings, fire doors, flooring and decoration. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity, and requires delivery of a coordinated refurbishment package across several building trades. The buying organisation is the University of Winchester, a public authority based in Hampshire. The procurement was structured as a single lot covering the complete refurbishment requirement. Businesses operating in commercial or institutional building refurbishment, fit-out, electrical works, lighting, ceilings, fire-door installation, flooring or decorating may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can manage several specialist workstreams as one delivery package.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of Winchester selected MJG Mechanical Services Limited on 15 July 2026. The award is active and covers the single completed lot. The awarded value is £113,370.86 excluding VAT, or £136,045.03 including VAT. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 31 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 22 July 2026. The procedure was selective and competitive, using a below-threshold award under an existing framework. The requirement was classified as construction work. The available process information identifies competition through the framework route, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings. The selected supplier is a Romsey-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award provides market evidence for contractors serving higher-education estates and similar public-sector refurbishment programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to coordinate electrical upgrades, lighting, ceilings, fire doors, flooring and decoration within one managed works package. Firms with in-house capability across several of these trades, or with reliable specialist subcontractor arrangements, would be better placed than businesses offering only a single isolated service. The route to market is also significant: the buyer used a competitive award under an existing framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to relevant framework arrangements and the ability to meet their participation conditions. The successful supplier's SME status indicates that this scale of refurbishment can be delivered by a smaller established contractor.
