## Summary

The University of Kent is currently seeking bids for the construction of their new BaMM and Life Sciences building located on the Canterbury campus, designated under the industry category of laboratory building construction work. This procurement process, initiated as a selective tender with a restricted procedure, was published on 1 March 2019, with a tender period ending on 28 March 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1 November 2019 and conclude by 2 December 2019. The project is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom.
