Summary of the contracting process

York St John University is seeking a contractor to refurbish and modernise toilet facilities across three floors of its library in York. The works are part of a wider programme to improve the university estate and are intended to make the facilities more functional, accessible and sustainable, while bringing them up to current standards. The library has high daily footfall from students, staff and visitors, so the completed facilities should provide a modern, welcoming and inclusive user experience. This is building refurbishment and public convenience work (CPV 45453100).

The university invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement has reached the tender stage. It is divided into one lot, with a contract period from 11 January to 14 April 2027. The estimated value is £175,000 including VAT. Bidders could submit enquiries until 11 November 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline set by the buyer was 16 November 2026 at 14:00. Evaluation gives 40% to price and value for money. The remaining 60% is quality: resourcing, programme and methodology (20%); capability and relevant experience (20%); technical submission (10%); and social value, environmental and sustainability considerations (10%).

The requirement suits building contractors with experience delivering refurbishment work in occupied, high-use public or institutional buildings. Suppliers should be able to plan and resource work across multiple floors, set out a credible programme and methodology, and demonstrate relevant project experience. The technical submission carries a defined share of the quality assessment, so bidders need to show how their proposed approach will deliver compliant, functional and accessible facilities. The university also assesses social value and environmental sustainability, favouring proposals that address these alongside the practical delivery requirements. The opportunity is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to smaller contractors and mission-led suppliers with the necessary delivery capability.
