Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia commissioned building works to remediate leaks in a building. The requirement covers structural works, thermal insulation, plasterboard, fireproofing, partition installation and other building completion work. It is a single building works requirement delivered in the UK. The buyer is the University of East Anglia, based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. The scope indicates a contractor is needed that can investigate or address building water ingress and then carry out associated repair, internal finishing, insulation, fire protection and partitioning works. The requirement is therefore relevant to main contractors and specialist building firms able to coordinate several building trades within one remediation project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot. R.G. Carter Limited was selected as the supplier, and the award is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. Its gross value is £86,000. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s decision to make a below-threshold direct award rather than through a competitive tender. This outcome shows that the University appointed an established large construction contractor for a short, defined programme of remedial building works covering leak-related structural and internal completion activities.

For a supplier assessing future demand from the University of East Anglia, this procurement indicates a requirement for coordinated building remediation rather than a single isolated trade. A credible competitor would need practical experience of repairing leaks and completing the resulting structural, insulation, plasterboard, fireproofing, partitioning and general finishing works. The selected supplier’s large-contractor profile suggests that the buyer valued the capacity to manage multiple construction disciplines, organise site delivery and complete a focused remedial programme. Firms with strong building maintenance or refurbishment capability, supported by reliable specialist subcontractors where needed, would be well placed to demonstrate comparable delivery ability when this type of requirement is considered again. The route used also shows that smaller, clearly scoped building packages may be handled below threshold.
