## Summary

The University of Southampton has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the "Building 42 Long Term Maintenance and Refresh Works - Civil and Structural Engineering" contract. This initiative focuses on consultative engineering and construction services, targeting the improvement and sustainability of Building 42 at the Highfield Campus in Southampton, England. The procurement method was a selective call-off from the NHSSBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework. The contract, valued at £50,555.80, began on 30th September 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 1st March 2027. The procurement category falls under services, particularly involving civil and structural engineering within the South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in engineering consultancy and construction services. With a focus on modernising and addressing maintenance issues for a key building on campus, businesses with a background in sustainable construction and engineering solutions can leverage this opportunity to showcase their expertise. Moreover, since the procurement process was conducted through a framework agreement, it might provide further contract opportunities for those already part of the framework looking to expand their portfolio within educational infrastructure improvements.

## Notice

The University of Southampton is awarding a contract for civil and structural engineering consultancy services in relation to long term maintenance and refresh works at Building 42, Highfield Campus which houses our student union, SUSU. Building 42, built in the 1960s, has received little investment in recent years which has led to significant building fabric and services issues. The ultimate desire of SUSU is to achieve an upgraded, more sustainable, modern facility to improve student experience, however before this can be achieved the backlog maintenance and building fabric issues need to be resolved. This contract was awarded following a further competition under Lot 3 of the NHSSBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework (Framework Reference: SBS10190).
