## Summary

The University of Sunderland has concluded the public procurement process for the demolition of the Forster Building as part of its estates strategy. The project, with a budget of £445,000, falls under the "Demolition, site preparation and clearance work" category (CPV 45111000). The location for this project is Sunderland, United Kingdom, with key project dates including a tender period ending on 3rd May 2024 and a contract period from 1st July 2024 to 30th September 2024. This award phase of the procurement process has been completed, and the contract has been awarded to DSM Demolition Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the demolition and site preparation industry, particularly those already part of the Procure Partnerships Demolition Framework. With a focus on SME suitability, this contract could provide considerable business growth for companies specialising in large-scale building demolition and site clearance. Firms capable of managing complex demolition projects in urban settings, involving not only the structural takedown but also site levelling and environmental considerations, would be well positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
