## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College commissioned internal refurbishment and a lighting upgrade for its gymnasium at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham. The works cover full redecoration, including ceilings and alcove finishes; aluminium chequer-plate wall protection; and construction of wall units to conceal electrical service boards. They also include supplying and installing a new lighting scheme in line with an approved lighting design specification. Some lighting work must take place outside normal working hours because the available closure period is limited and the gymnasium needs to be ready before the September start of term. This is a building refurbishment and electrical installation requirement for a university sports facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. B.C.E. Mills Bros. and Partners Co. Limited was selected for the single works package. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 17 August to 31 August 2026, giving a short delivery period before the university term begins. Its value is £47,421 excluding VAT, or £56,905.20 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a refurbishment works contract under a single lot. The contracting process is recorded as complete, while the awarded contract is active.

This requirement is most relevant to principal contractors and specialist refurbishment firms able to manage a fast internal fit-out in an operational university environment. Credible competitors would need experience coordinating decorating, wall protection, bespoke joinery or wall-unit construction, and commercial lighting installation under one programme. The work also calls for practical control of electrical services, compliance with an approved lighting design, and safe working outside normal hours where necessary. The short closure window makes programme management, labour availability and reliable supply of materials particularly important. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller building or refurbishment business with suitable multi-trade capability can deliver this scale of university works.
