Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Metropolitan University procured kitchen refurbishment and associated works at its Cyncoed Campus in Cardiff. The requirement is a construction and refurbishment project, including refurbishment of kitchen facilities and related building works. The university is the buyer and the work is delivered at the Cyncoed Campus. The procurement falls within the works category, with refurbishment work as the stated classification. It is a single requirement rather than a wider programme of separately described services, and is focused on improving existing campus kitchen facilities rather than supplying standalone goods or routine operational services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BECT Building Contractors Ltd. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 30 August 2026. Its value is £214,000 excluding VAT and £257,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Cardiff Metropolitan University remains the contracting buyer. The published outcome identifies BECT Building Contractors Ltd as the selected supplier. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender, so the opportunity demonstrates the buyer’s route for appointing a contractor to this type of below-threshold campus refurbishment requirement.

This procurement is relevant to building contractors able to carry out kitchen refurbishment and associated construction works in an occupied or operational university campus environment. A credible future competitor would need practical refurbishment capability, the capacity to manage a concentrated campus project, and the ability to coordinate the connected building activities within the requirement. The awarded supplier was a Cardiff-based small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the work was delivered by an SME rather than only a major national contractor. Contractors targeting Cardiff Metropolitan University should therefore track similar kitchen, facilities and campus refurbishment requirements and be prepared to compete through a limited-competition route.
