Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln appointed a supplier for refurbishment works to the third floor of the David Chiddick Building. The requirement covers overhaul and refurbishment work within the university’s building in Lincoln. It is a construction and fit-out opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase or general professional service. The buyer is the University of Lincoln, a public authority based at Brayford Pool, Lincoln. The work is associated with the university’s own premises and is delivered in Lincoln. The appointed supplier is Maris Interiors LLP, an SME specialising in interiors and refurbishment. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the refurbishment works to the identified building area, rather than separate service or supply packages.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The University of Lincoln used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Maris Interiors LLP was appointed as the supplier for the refurbishment works. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 25 September 2026. Its gross value is £989,098.80. The tender is recorded as complete, while the contract remains active. The process comprised one package of works. The procurement route means the appointment was made without a competitive tender, so the published outcome does not provide a comparison of competing bids or a scored evaluation basis.

For a supplier considering similar university refurbishment work, this outcome indicates demand for substantial interior refurbishment delivered by an SME specialist. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the practical capability to refurbish occupied or operational higher-education premises, manage construction and fit-out activities, and deliver a defined building-area project through to completion. Relevant experience in overhaul and refurbishment work would be important, particularly evidence of coordinating trades, maintaining programme control and meeting the buyer’s requirements for a university building. The appointed supplier’s SME status also shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a focused interiors business rather than only by a major national contractor. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to refurbishment and commercial interiors contractors with comparable project capacity.
