## Summary

Nottingham Trent University is seeking to appoint a maximum of three Contractors to form a Framework providing construction services across all campuses as needed. The University will conduct further competitions to award projects varying in size between £200,000 and £1,800,000. The works involve refurbishment, modernisation, alterations, new builds, and maintenance of university buildings, such as labs, lecture theatres, offices, and accommodation. The procurement is in the "works" category, using a selective procurement method with a focus on technical capability (70%) and price (30%) criteria.

This tender by Nottingham Trent University presents significant business growth opportunities for construction companies capable of delivering high-quality projects within the specified budget and timeline. Businesses well-suited to compete would include contractors with expertise in university facility construction, refurbishment, and maintenance. The opportunity allows for collaboration with the university's internal Estates teams and requires contractors to provide design services and maintain professional indemnity insurance for the projects. The active tender period is aimed at fostering competition and ensuring value for money in the award of construction projects.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

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.
