Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Founders MLT Fire Exit Works" was initiated by Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a sub-central government public authority located at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, United Kingdom. The tender concerns a project in the 'works' industry category, targeted at improving safety by widening the fire exit at the Founders Main Lecture Theatre. The procurement process has reached the 'award' stage, with the contract being signed on 29th June 2026 and set to be completed by 16th September 2026. The procurement method used was 'limited', indicating a below-threshold, limited competition approach within this specific geographical region.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in building alteration work within the public and educational sectors, particularly those capable of delivering precise, safety-enhancing construction projects. With a gross contract value of £105,512.35, the opportunity is particularly suited to SMEs like T&B (Contractors) Limited, the awarded supplier. Firms with expertise in fire safety compliance and university infrastructures would find this type of project beneficial for expanding their portfolio and strengthening their standing in specialised markets.

Notice Title

Founders MLT Fire Exit Works

Notice Description

The occupancy level of the University's Founders Main Lecture Theatre has been reviewed by the Health & Safety team. While there are two points of exit from the theatre, the largest exit must be discounted with the width of the remaining exit dictating capacity. The second exit from the Theatre is only 850mm wide which limits capacity to 110. The purpose of these works is to widen the second exit to 1050mm in order to raise capacity to the desired level of 165.
