Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire is procuring construction works for a paramedic and nursing suite for its Health, Care and Social Sciences provision. The scope is described as suite works, with construction and building work classifications indicating a building project rather than a supply contract. The buying organisation is the University of Bedfordshire, based in Luton. No delivery location is stated separately, so Luton is the buyer’s location, not a confirmed works site. The requirement is for contractors able to deliver the construction of specialist teaching or training accommodation for paramedic and nursing activities.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 13 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 20 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £550,000 excluding VAT and £660,000 including VAT. The contract period is 4 January to 26 March 2027. The procurement is arranged as one lot. The stated evaluation basis is set out in the tender documents; the published summary does not give the criteria or their weightings. Electronic submission was allowed. The stated bid submission route is the University of Bedfordshire’s In-tend tender portal.

This opportunity is suited to building contractors with the capability and capacity to deliver a defined construction project for specialist paramedic and nursing facilities within a short contract period. Suppliers with experience in building construction, civil engineering or comparable works are aligned with the classified scope. The facilities’ intended use may make experience working in education, healthcare or clinical training environments relevant, but no such experience, accreditation or technical standard is stated as a requirement. The procurement is a single-lot project, so bidders should be able to manage the works as one package. The published information does not set out specific staffing, qualification, insurance or subcontracting conditions; the evaluation detail is contained in the tender documents.
