UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured phase 1 of the Horton Building window replacement works. The requirement is the removal and installation of replacement windows, classified as window installation works. The work is for the university’s Horton Building in Egham, Surrey. The university is the buying organisation and the procurement covered one completed lot. This is a building fabric and planned maintenance opportunity for contractors specialising in commercial window replacement, installation and associated construction works. The requirement is focused on a defined phase of work rather than a university-wide window programme. It may suit firms able to deliver installation works in an occupied or operational higher-education estate, subject to the detailed technical and site requirements for the building.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College used a below-threshold limited competition. B.C.E. Mills Bros. and Partners Co. Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 4 June 2026 and runs from 4 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £101,315 excluding VAT, or £121,578 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award covers the Horton Building window replacement works and the associated window installation classification. The process was conducted as a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so future suppliers should note that this buyer has used a restricted route for a below-threshold requirement of this type.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for commercial window replacement at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, delivered as a discrete building works phase. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was within the reach of a smaller specialist contractor rather than necessarily requiring a major national construction business. Competitors would need credible capability in window installation and replacement works, with sufficient labour, supervision, site management and supply-chain capacity to complete a focused programme in a university building. Relevant experience of construction work in operational estates, safe site working, coordination with the client and reliable delivery of manufactured window products would strengthen a future response. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also makes relationship-building and visibility with its procurement team commercially relevant.
