UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured building refurbishment works for its Medicine Building at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham. The project converts a university night club into examination, teaching and general function space. The scope includes constructing a new toilet block, external façade and entrance works, and a full internal fit-out. The main work category is building completion and refurbishment, corresponding to CPV 45450000. Rider Levett Bucknall UK Limited managed the full procurement process for the university. The requirement concerns a single refurbishment project rather than a framework or multiple service areas, and is relevant to contractors with experience delivering complex internal alterations and associated external building works in a live university environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to EPS Construction Management Ltd on 21 August 2026. The signed contract is active and runs from 21 August 2026 to 29 September 2026. Its value is £1,087,458 excluding VAT, or £1,304,949.60 including VAT. The process comprised one completed lot covering the Medicine Building refurbishment. The award was made for works, and the contracting authority is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College. The contract was signed on the award date. The published outcome identifies EPS Construction Management Ltd as the selected supplier; no separate award values or additional successful suppliers are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Royal Holloway for substantial university refurbishment and building-completion work delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to manage the conversion of an existing institutional building into flexible examination, teaching and general-use accommodation, while coordinating a new toilet block, façade and entrance works and a complete internal fit-out. Relevant strengths would include construction management, refurbishment delivery, programme control, coordination of multiple trades, and experience working in education or other occupied public-sector environments. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms with a comparable refurbishment portfolio and capacity for a short, concentrated programme would be well placed when similar work returns to this buyer.
