Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Nottingham College, aimed at refurbishing and improving the Adams Building in Nottingham, falls within the "works" industry category, particularly focusing on refurbishment work. The procurement was completed as of 17th July 2026, with Thomas & Sons awarded the contract valued at £733,000. This process was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award without prior publication. Although initially involving relocation of the Hair and Beauty Salon and enhancements to teaching facilities, the initially planned lot was cancelled. The contract was eventually signed with Thomas & Sons on 19th June 2026, under the Pagabo Framework DPS Agreement.

This contracting process presents growth opportunities for businesses in the refurbishment and construction sectors, particularly those experienced in educational facilities. Companies capable of delivering high-quality work at competitive prices would be well-suited to similar tenders. While this completed tender highlights the potential for large-scale refurbishments, it also underlines the importance of frameworks like Pagabo for securing contracts without the need for open competition, benefiting established suppliers like Thomas & Sons.
