Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College commissioned reactive glazing repairs and replacement across its estate in Egham and London. The work covers responding to glazing defects as they arise, including broken glass, failed sealed units and deterioration of related components, with the aim of keeping buildings safe, compliant and operational while limiting disruption to students, staff and visitors. The estate comprises about 112 buildings: 61 residential and 51 non-residential properties, with varied ages, uses and glazing systems. The contract is for glazing and window installation work, including repairs and replacement, at the University’s Egham and London campuses.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Direct Glazing. The University used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2030, with an option to extend through 27 September 2031. Its value is £332,000 excluding VAT (£398,400 including VAT). The published procurement information does not state a separate award date or explain the evaluation criteria.

For glazing contractors, this award demonstrates sustained demand from Royal Holloway for reactive work across a varied university estate, spanning residential, academic, administrative and public-facing buildings. A credible competitor would need to respond reliably to faults as they occur and handle repairs and replacement across different glazing systems, windows and door assemblies. Work includes addressing breakages, failed sealed units and deterioration of associated components, with attention to safety, security, thermal performance, weatherproofing and occupant comfort. Suppliers would need to work in a way that maintains compliance and building operations while minimising disruption to students, staff and visitors. The award to a small and medium-sized glazing supplier shows that this requirement was delivered through a limited competition and at a substantial multi-year scale.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Reactive Glazing Repair and Replacement

Notice Description

The University maintains a large, diverse estate across its Egham and London campuses, supporting academic, residential, administrative, and public-facing functions. The estate comprises approximately 112 buildings, including 61 residential and 51 non residential properties, constructed over different periods and incorporating a wide range of glazing systems, window types, and door assemblies. Glazing forms a critical element of the building fabric, contributing to safety, security, thermal performance, weatherproofing, and occupant comfort. Due to the age, heritage, usage intensity, and variation of buildings across the estate, glazing defects such as breakages, failed sealed units, and deterioration of associated components arise on a routine basis and require timely, professional intervention. This Reactive Glazing Repair and Replacement Contract is intended to ensure the University has access to a responsive, competent, and reliable contractor capable of addressing glazing issues as they occur. The Contract shall support the Estates function in maintaining buildings in a safe, compliant, and operational condition, while minimising disruption to students, staff, and visitors.
