UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured works to install new heat emitters on the floors of C Block at its Luton campus. The requirement concerns building installation work, including the installation, repair or maintenance of building services. The buyer is the University of Bedfordshire, a public undertaking based in Luton. The awarded requirement relates to activity in the United Kingdom. It is a single-site university estates project rather than a supply-only purchase, so relevant businesses are contractors able to carry out physical installation work within an occupied or operational higher-education campus environment. The scope is focused on heat-emitter installation in a defined campus building, with the procurement categorised as works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The buyer obtained three quotes, and all three final-stage bids were from small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There was one lot. The contract was awarded to BRADBURY PLUMBERS LTD on 3 September 2026 for £43,264 excluding VAT, or £51,916.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 25 October 2026, with signature scheduled by 18 September 2026. The published information identifies the route as limited competition and the comparison of three quotations; it does not set out a weighted award-criteria breakdown.

This procurement indicates demand from the University of Bedfordshire for specialist building-services contractors able to install heat emitters in university buildings and complete associated building installation work. A credible future competitor would need practical plumbing or mechanical-services capability, suitable labour and supervision, and the capacity to deliver a defined campus installation within a short contract period. The successful supplier was an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, while all three final-stage bidders shared those classifications, showing that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist providers. Businesses with relevant estates, education-sector or commercial-building installation experience would be well placed to demonstrate a clear fit when this buyer assesses similar work.
