## Summary

Kingston University Higher Education Corporation has awarded a comprehensive consultancy framework valued at £8.4 million, encompassing the development, tender, and construction management of various projects across its four campuses. The procurement process, which began in August 2025, has now entered the awarding stage, with contracts set to commence from 18 May 2026. This initiative is divided into six lots, each representing distinct disciplines, including Architectural Services, Building Services Engineers, Project & Cost Managers, Structural & Civil Engineers, Building Surveyors, and Fire Safety Consultants. The procurement was conducted through a selective and competitive flexible procedure, ensuring a robust selection based on quality, pricing, and terms of agreement. This framework agreement will contribute significantly to the planned projects up to 2030, providing services like formal teaching spaces, laboratories, and student social spaces at Kingston upon Thames in the UK.

Companies such as architects, engineers, project managers, and surveyors are well-positioned to compete and contribute to the varied projects, which range in construction value from £50,000 to over £5 million. Participating in this framework allows businesses to establish long-term relationships with Kingston University, enriching their portfolio with high-profile institutional projects and enhancing their reputation and market reach. Moreover, the structured lot system enables targeted expertise utilization, further promoting efficiency and innovation in service delivery.
