## Summary

The University of Lincoln has awarded a contract to the Cambridge Glasshouse Company Limited for the design, supply, construction, and fit-out of a new Net Zero Glasshouse research facility at the University's Riseholme campus near Lincoln. This project includes an associated geothermal heating and cooling solution. The procurement process followed an open procedure and is complete, with the contract awarded on 30th July 2024. The total value of the contract is approximately £1,656,152.99, with the project expected to run from 28th October 2024 to 12th June 2025.
