## Summary

Bath Spa University procured refurbishment works for Phase 2 of the Compton Music Studio project. The work reconfigures rooms CP.G12 and CP.103 in the Compton building to create live music recording space on the ground floor and a critical listening room on the first floor. This is a specialist building and fit-out requirement, classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100), rather than a supply-only contract or general professional service. Delivery is in the South West of England, at Bath Spa University’s Compton building in Bath. The requirement combines structural or building reconfiguration with the creation of technically suitable music and audio spaces, so relevant contractors would need to understand both refurbishment delivery and the practical requirements of specialist studio environments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a limited procedure using competitive quotation below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 4 April 2024 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £830,786.90. Bath Spa University awarded the contract to 21st Century Building Services Limited on 9 May 2024 for £907,465.86. The awarded contract period ran from 3 June 2024 to 8 November 2024. The award is active and covers the Compton Music Studio Works Phase 2 requirement as a single procurement. The outcome shows that the selected supplier was a large building services business, and that the award value exceeded the original estimate. The procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Bath Spa University for substantial refurbishment and specialist music-space construction delivered by an established, large-scale building contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need proven capacity to manage a complex internal reconfiguration, coordinate multiple building trades and deliver work safely within an occupied university environment. Experience creating recording, critical-listening or other acoustically sensitive spaces would strengthen its position, alongside reliable programme control, quality assurance and the ability to coordinate specialist installations with general construction activities. The requirement is best suited to businesses that can evidence comparable education, cultural or technical fit-out projects, manage a sizeable delivery team and take responsibility for the full refurbishment package rather than only a narrow trade element.
