Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester is seeking a contractor to supply and install a new 20 by 8 metre storage facility. This is a construction and building installation project, with the storage unit itself forming the main requirement. The buying organisation is the University of Worcester, and the facility is for its site in Worcester. The work is grouped as a single lot. Suppliers should be able to provide the facility and carry out its installation as one project.

The University invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 1 February to 28 February 2027. The published procurement and lot values are recorded as zero, so they do not provide a usable estimate of the contract price. Evaluation gives 75% to price and value for money, 10% to the method statement, 10% to product information and supporting plans, including compliance with base design requirements, and 5% to the programme. Electronic submission was allowed.

This requirement is suited to suppliers able to deliver and install a storage building of 20 by 8 metres, and to provide product information and supporting plans that address the base design requirements. Bidders need to explain their proposed method of working and programme, as these account for 10% and 5% of the evaluation respectively. Price and value for money dominate the assessment, accounting for 75%, so a competitive, clearly costed offer is important. The combined supply-and-install scope is likely to suit contractors with the capability to coordinate both elements of the job. The evaluation also rewards evidence that the proposed product and plans meet the stated design basis.
