## Summary

The Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), a public authority within the sub-central government, has completed the award stage for its "Award Notice Minor Works Framework Agreement" aimed at procuring minor works for its properties predominantly in the Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch area, with a focus on SMEs. This procurement process falls under the below threshold open competition category and includes services such as building, mechanical, electrical, maintenance, and related trades. The award covers four lots, each with specific classifications, including works for construction, installation, and completion, along with goods for lifts and escalators. The contract period for various lots starts on 10th December 2025 and ends on 4th July 2030, with an option for renewal. The procurement includes three contractors: Henley's Response Ltd, Spetisbury Construction Ltd, and Rocare Building Services Ltd, each recognised for their specialisation in the respective areas detailed within the lots.

This procurement presents growth opportunities primarily for local SMEs that provide construction, installation, or maintenance services. Businesses with fewer than 250 employees and a turnover under £50 million are eligible to participate, providing a chance to strengthen local and regional market presence. The contract stipulates that eligible businesses must have a location within the BCP area, offering a competitive edge to firms with established business operations in the locality. By securing positions in a framework agreement, SMEs can leverage steady demand and potentially scale their operations significantly within the region, focusing on high-impact building and maintenance works. This initiative not only supports the sustainability of small enterprises but also reinforces the economic development within the targeted areas of Dorset and Hampshire, ensuring long-term business partnerships with AUB.
