Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured external refurbishment works for its Sports Fitness Suite. The scope covered wrapping the building with three lifts of scaffolding, repairing and preparing road-side and pathway access elevations, and decorating them in colours agreed with the University. It also included supplying and fitting two new hopper heads and downpipes, plus repairs and preparation to the pitch-side and changing-room elevations. The latter works covered areas associated with a cargo container and a gym addition. This is a construction and building-refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, Surrey. Delivery was in the South East of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One award was made to B.C.E Mills Bros. And Partners Co. Limited, an SME. The award date was 13 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £34,482 excluding VAT, or £41,378.40 including VAT. The contract covers one refurbishment works lot, with the award marked active and the contract marked active. Evaluation was therefore conducted within a direct-award route rather than an open competitive tender. The procurement’s recorded status is complete, reflecting that the supplier has been selected and the contracting process has concluded.

This requirement indicates demand for a small, focused building-refurbishment package at a university sports facility. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to coordinate access scaffolding, external repairs and surface preparation across several elevations, followed by agreed-colour decoration. Relevant capability also includes rainwater goods installation, particularly hopper heads and downpipes, and practical experience working around changing rooms, gym extensions and cargo-container structures. Credibility would come from being able to manage a short-duration programme, sequence multiple trades safely, and work around an operational education or sports environment. The awarded supplier was an SME, suggesting that a smaller construction or refurbishment firm with suitable site management, labour and subcontractor capacity could compete for similar requirements from this buyer. The work also provides a clear reference scope for monitoring future university estates needs.
