Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured works to refurbish the accessibility ramp serving the North Tower of the Founders Building. The requirement is construction and refurbishment work focused on improving or restoring access to the building. The work is for the university’s site in Egham, Surrey, and relates to a single requirement rather than a multi-service programme. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public authority and sub-central government body. This opportunity is relevant to construction contractors with experience in access infrastructure, building refurbishment and work in an operational university or institutional environment. The requirement concerns physical works on an existing accessibility ramp, rather than design-only consultancy, routine maintenance or the supply of standalone goods.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a request for quotations. One contract was awarded to TRI PROJECT CONSTRUCTION LTD. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 7 September 2026. Its value is £62,278 excluding VAT, or £74,733 including VAT. The procurement covered one lot: refurbishment of the accessibility ramp serving the Founders Building North Tower. The published description identifies construction work as the classification. The contracting outcome records the selected supplier and an active contract. The process was therefore a small, focused works procurement conducted through a restricted competitive route rather than an open tender. The stated award basis is the submitted request for quotation.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for specialist refurbishment of an existing accessibility ramp at a university site. Competitors seeking similar work for Royal Holloway would need credible construction delivery capability, including experience planning and completing refurbishment works in an occupied educational or institutional setting. Practical competence in accessibility-related infrastructure, site safety, sequencing, temporary access arrangements and protecting building users would be relevant to demonstrating capability, although the procurement does not state particular accreditations or qualifications. The successful supplier was recorded as a large construction business, indicating that the buyer accepted a contractor with the capacity to manage a focused building-works project. Businesses with a track record of responsive quotation-led delivery and reliable short-duration site work would be well placed when comparable access or estate-refurbishment requirements return.
