## Summary

The University of Salford, a public authority in Salford, UK, has recently completed the procurement process for external doors and entrance lobby works at the Clifford Whitworth Library. The contract, which follows an open procurement method below the threshold, has been awarded to Schofield & Sons. This initiative focuses on the construction category, with work scheduled between 20th June and 1st August 2025. The process progressed from the tender stage to the award stage, with the award notice published on 2nd May 2025, and a total of five bids were received during the tender stage.
