## Summary

The University of Birmingham has finalised an open procurement process for the refurbishment of its university centre and The Vale, awarding a contract for supermarket refurbishment services and a franchise agreement. This process, initiated in April 2025, has reached the award stage, with the contracts anticipated to commence on 11th August 2025 and span until August 2035 for The Vale, and August 2037 for the university centre. Located in Birmingham, UK, this procurement targets the services industry, specifically retail trade and refurbishment, under an open procedure with a framework agreement in place. The standstill period is scheduled to end on 6th August 2025, with contract signatures expected on or after 7th August 2025.
