## Summary

The University of Plymouth has recently completed a procurement process for the "Smeaton and Library Waterproofing Roof Works," which involved critical maintenance to the roofs of the Smeaton and Library buildings located at the main campus in Plymouth, Devon. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a total contract value of £672,000, aimed at ensuring minimal disruption during the works. The contract was awarded to Rateavon Limited, with the award notice published on 28 September 2021. The works were anticipated to start on 6 May 2021 and conclude by 7 May 2021, focusing on improving the roof insulation and waterproofing in accordance with current Building Regulations. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction and roofing firms looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts. Businesses specialising in roof works, waterproofing, and related construction services would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Given the procurement's emphasis on reducing disruption to the University community, firms with experience in managing projects within operational environments would particularly benefit from such opportunities.
