Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is procuring works to supply and install the partitions package for the refurbishment of the Mary Ann Evans building at its Clifton campus in Nottingham. The requirement covers partition walls, with the detailed scope and technical requirements set out in the tender specification. The university’s Estates department is the buying organisation. This is a construction and building-fit-out opportunity rather than a supply-only contract: the successful contractor will need to provide the partition products and complete their installation as part of the wider refurbishment project. The work is located at Nottingham Trent University’s Clifton campus in Nottingham, making this most relevant to partitioning, interior fit-out and associated construction contractors able to deliver work there.

The procurement reached tender: Nottingham Trent University invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed. Questions could be submitted until 29 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The single package has a gross value of £100,000 including VAT. The planned contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027. Offers will be evaluated on commercial offer, weighted at 65%, and technical quality, weighted at 35%. The package is identified as installation of partition walls and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The detailed scope, specification and bidding requirements are contained in the tender package.

This opportunity suits contractors that can supply and install partition wall systems within a university refurbishment project. Relevant suppliers are likely to include commercial interior-fit-out firms, partitioning specialists and construction contractors with the workforce, site-management arrangements and practical installation capability needed to deliver a complete package. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller established businesses can compete alongside larger contractors where they can demonstrate a credible technical offer and meet the specification. The 35% technical-quality weighting means suppliers should be able to explain how their proposed solution and installation approach will meet the stated requirements, while the commercial offer remains the larger part of the evaluation.
