## Summary

Solihull College and University Centre has embarked on a procurement process to enhance their STEM facilities at the Woodlands Campus through the construction and refurbishment of workshops dedicated to motor vehicles and brickwork. The contracting stages are an award phase for Lot 1, the Motor Vehicle Workshop, and a tender phase for Lot 2, the Brickwork Workshop. Although there was a delay in the Brickwork Workshop award decision, the Motor Vehicle Workshop contract is actively in progress, having commenced on the 30th March 2026 and concluding on the 1st August 2026, valued at £986,280. The procurement method adopted is an open competition below threshold, focusing on construction work within the educational sector, specifically targeting industrial and college buildings in Solihull, UKG32 region. Interested parties had until the 16th January 2026 to submit their tenders electronically, following guidance available on the In-tend Education Portal.

Business growth opportunities abound within this procurement process, particularly for construction firms specialising in educational infrastructure. The contract for the Motor Vehicle Workshop, awarded to Alcema Limited, indicates potential success for SMEs where quality and price are the key evalution criteria, framed by a 60:40 ratio. The open competition nature of the procurement presents accessibility for a range of businesses, especially those skilled in vocational and technical college construction. Firms capable of delivering high-quality construction services at competitive prices stand to benefit from such tender opportunities, facilitating their entry into the educational infrastructure sector and driving business expansion within the UKG regions.
