## Summary

Teesside University has completed a public procurement process for the National Horizon Centre project located in Darlington, North East England. This project received funding of up to £3.8 million from the England European Regional Development Fund as part of an initiative to stimulate local economic development. The contract, valued at £10,626,000, focused on the design and construction of a new three-storey research and teaching facility, as well as associated external works. The tender period concluded on 21 November 2017, with the contract officially starting on 22 November 2017 and ending on 31 March 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and building services industry, particularly those with experience in laboratory and educational facility construction. Firms capable of handling large-scale construction projects, especially those specialising in innovative structures and sustainable building practices, would be well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders. The active involvement of a major educational institution such as Teesside University further underscores the potential for partnerships that can enhance community development and educational infrastructure.
