## Summary

The University of Kent has completed the open procurement process for improvement works at the Keynes College Psychology Laboratory, located at their Canterbury campus in Kent, UK (region UKJ44). As a central government public authority, the University sought a competent contractor to execute remedial and improvement efforts, specifically involving laboratory redecoration, flooring replacement, and structural adjustments. This tender process culminated with the award granted on 22nd May 2026 to Stonepoint Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Stotfold. The works are scheduled to commence on 3rd June 2026 and must conclude by 27th July 2026, with potential extensions for related projects up to July 2027.

This procurement offers substantial business opportunities, particularly for SMEs skilled in laboratory construction work, as evidenced by the selection of Stonepoint Limited. The open competition method ensured a wide range of companies could bid, but the requirement for experience and competence in similar projects was key. Suitable businesses would be those specialising in construction work with the ability to adhere to strict timelines and regulatory environments within the education sector, given the active nature of the campus during project execution. Moreover, businesses offering high-quality and economically viable solutions would have a competitive edge, as the tender was evaluated based on 60% quality and 40% price criteria.
