## Summary

The Crown Estate is overseeing the procurement of a main contractor for the refurbishment project located at 1-12 Magdalen Street, Oxford. This initiative involves transforming the existing space into a life science facility through comprehensive structural modifications and improvements. The contract, valued at £960,000, was awarded on 29th May 2026 to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd following a selective procurement procedure, specifically a competitive flexible procedure. The project stages included a two-stage Design and Build process with the main works set to commence after successful completion of the pre-construction phase under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement. The contract's active period is slated from 15th June 2026 to 14th June 2029, covering the entire refurbishment timeline across the United Kingdom's southern and southeastern regions.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in major refurbishments and life science facility developments. Medium to large-scale construction firms with experience in competitive tendering and capacity for complex structural revisions are well-suited to participate in such endeavors. Furthermore, the nature of the contract, involving extensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing refurbishments, offers scope for businesses with expertise in these areas to contribute through subcontracting partnerships, thus fostering business growth and expansion within the public sector marketplace.
