Contract award: 26/01/2026; completion: 22/05/2026. ### Procurement Information This contract is a call-off award under the Pagabo National Framework for Refit and Refurbishment Solutions (Lot 4 - West Midlands). The framework was established following a full competitive procedure and prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). Under Regulation 33 of PCR 2015, contracting authorities may award call-off contracts under a framework agreement without the need for a further Contract Notice in the Find a Tender service. The framework's original advertisement therefore satisfies the requirement for prior publication. Aston University conducted a Further Competition between all suppliers appointed to Lot 4 of the Pagabo framework, in full accordance with the rules of that framework and with the University's procurement procedures. The Further Competition ensured genuine competition for this requirement and established the most economically advantageous tender. As the contract was awarded lawfully under a framework agreement that had already been subject to a compliant call for competition, and as Regulation 33 expressly permits call-offs without additional publication, the award of this contract without prior publication in the Find a Tender service is compliant and lawful. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024087-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £7,343,161 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ASTON UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 7ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG31 Birmingham | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WILLMOTT DIXON INTERIORS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45453100 - Refurbishment work ## Release History - 17 Mar 2026 at 13:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024087-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://www.aston.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
