The process aims to facilitate projects managed by Campus Infrastructure, covering laboratory refurbishments, office fitouts, and accommodation refurbishments across Claverton Campus and other sites in Bath and Bristol Science Park. The procurement process is at the tender stage, occurring through an open procedure, with procurement activities predominantly categorised under construction work. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 19 May 2026 and submission deadline by 26 May 2026, with an award decision anticipated by 30 June 2026. Interested parties can further engage through the eSourcing portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs, as they can participate in constructing spaces vital for both educational and residential environments. It offers prospects for businesses specialising in construction, laboratory equipment, and refurbishment, with value emphasis placed on both price and quality criteria. The framework agreement allows for call-off contracts through direct award or mini-competition, facilitating entry for diverse business entities to secure contracts with periods extending up to 2030, and potential renewal for an additional 12 months. As such, businesses equipped with capabilities in construction work, particularly those with experience in laboratory spaces, office environments, and residential refurbishments, are well suited to compete for these opportunities, providing a path for sustainable business growth. ## Notice Campus Infrastructure (CI), which manages and maintains the University of Bath's estate, aims to establish a Minor Works Contractors Framework to support both the Long-Term Maintenance (LTM) and Accommodation teams in delivering small- to medium-scale projects. The framework will cover construction works valued up to PS500k including VAT, including laboratory refurbishments, study and office space fitouts, roofing and general planned maintenance works, as well as accommodation refurbishments. The University operates across three key locations: Claverton Campus, the city of Bath, and the Bath & Bristol Science Park (BBSP). Most works procured through this framework will take place on the Claverton Campus, with additional accommodation refurbishment projects delivered within the city.
