## Summary

The recent contracting process for Cardiff University involves the appointment of a Digarbon Contractor to manage the retrofit of its Law and Psychology buildings, located in Cardiff, UK. The competitive flexible procedure employed for selecting the contractor follows the open procurement method under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis, to ensure compliance with the Welsh devolved regulations. The contract, valued at approximately £2.47 million (excluding VAT), is designated as complete. A NEC4 PCSA contract was awarded to Bray and Slaughter Limited, allowing them to proceed with asbestos removals, roof replacements, and installation of new double-glazed windows in the specified buildings. The project's contract period runs from 16th March 2026 to 5th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in construction and refurbishment, particularly those with expertise in managing complex retrofits in operational environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a proven track record in similar projects could find this contract beneficial for expanding their portfolio within the higher education sector. The competitive selection process, which included stages for selecting from multiple bidders, underscores the demand for quality deliverables and cost-efficiency. The project's focus on sustainability and efficient resource management aligns with broader governmental decarbonisation strategies, offering businesses a platform to showcase their capabilities in environmentally-conscious construction practices.
