## Summary

The Nottingham Trent University has conducted a procurement process for a "Small Contractors Framework" in the construction industry. The framework aims to appoint up to three contractors to provide construction services for projects across all university campuses. The University will award projects through further competitions or directly in case of urgency. The contract values range from £200,000 to £1,800,000. The procurement method used is a selective procedure with a tender period ending on 8th January 2024. The selected contractors will collaborate with the University's internal Estates teams on various refurbishment, modernisation, and construction projects.

Businesses in the construction sector, especially those with expertise in building construction works, can find growth opportunities through this tender. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly suited to compete due to the project scale. The selected candidates will work closely with Nottingham Trent University in delivering projects of varying complexity, from refurbishments to new builds. The framework contract period for the appointed contractors starts from 9th January 2024 until 10th January 2024, presenting a stable business growth potential for the successful bidders.

## Notice

Nottingham Trent University is seeking to appoint a maximum of three Contractors who will form a Framework that will provide construction services to the University across all campuses as and when required. The University shall conduct further competitions (inviting all three appointed contractors to bid) to award projects. The University reserves the right to award projects directly to one of the contractors for reasons of genuine urgency/emergency. The Contractors shall work in Partnership with NTU internal Estates teams to fulfil projects that NTU Construction Services are unable to undertake themselves. Project sizes shall vary between PS200,000 and PS1,800,000 gross. The University reserves the right to put projects above this value out to tender to the open market to ensure value for money. Works shall mainly be refurbishment and modernisation projects, alterations, new build works and maintenance of typical university buildings. This will include but not be limited to laboratories, small and complex lecture theatres, libraries, cafe and commercial kitchens, offices (individual and open plan), public areas, meeting rooms, conference rooms, accommodation, plant areas, etc. Buildings will be of varying age/condition, including listed/heritage type buildings. The work will be in the form of individual projects, with details being provided via a scope of works, usually with proposed drawings and where available design guides and standard specification. Depending on the scheme and University involved, designs may be provided by the University, or the Contractor will be asked to produce them. Appointed Contractors must therefore be able to provide a design service and be willing to take on design responsibility and have appropriate levels of professional indemnity insurances for the call-off contract in question.
