This project, identified as 5073/EFM/RH, falls under the refurbishment work category with an estimated value of £60,000. The procurement is within the works category and is managed by procurement lead Rachel Hirst. Potential bidders must express interest via the University’s e-tendering platform before the tender period closes on 19th June 2026 at 12:00 PM. Site visits are slated for 5th June 2026, providing an opportunity for prospective tenderers to evaluate the site. The contract period is scheduled from 27th July to 4th September 2026. This tender offers a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors, to showcase their capabilities in refurbishment projects. The requirement for masonry and concrete repairs, cladding installation, and updating signage and lighting, could ideally suit firms with expertise in minor construction and repair works.
