UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is procuring building refurbishment works under its Building Refresh Project. The scope covers a multi-site programme across several campus buildings, including strip-out, redecoration, flooring replacement, ceiling replacement, and mechanical and electrical upgrades. The upgrades include installing LED lighting. The work is associated with the university’s campus in Egham, Surrey. This is a works requirement for contractors able to coordinate several refurbishment activities across multiple buildings, rather than a single-trade supply. The buyer is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public authority and higher education institution. The requirement is classified as overhaul and refurbishment work, CPV 45453000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The selected supplier is MORRIS & BLUNT LIMITED. The award covers one lot and has an active status. The contract was signed and started on 26 June 2026, with a contract period ending on 31 July 2026; the anticipated delivery period was four weeks. The awarded contract value is £160,472.47 excluding VAT, or £192,566.96 including VAT. The award date is 26 June 2026. The process was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement records the direct, non-competitive route rather than a scored competitive evaluation.

This procurement indicates demand from Royal Holloway for coordinated, short-duration refurbishment across an operational university campus. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in strip-out, redecoration, flooring and ceiling replacement, together with mechanical and electrical works and LED lighting installation. The requirement suits a refurbishment or principal building contractor able to manage multiple trades, sequence work across several buildings and deliver within a tightly defined programme. Experience working in education or other occupied, multi-building environments would help demonstrate control of access, safety, coordination and disruption. The awarded supplier is an SME, suggesting that a focused contractor with sufficient delivery capacity and reliable specialist partners could be relevant when this type of requirement returns.
