## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College bought carpeting for the Penrose flats. This is a supply requirement for carpets and associated flooring materials, rather than construction works or a general facilities-management service. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham. Delivery is within Surrey, East and West Sussex, with the requirement linked specifically to the Penrose flats. The procurement is classified as goods, with carpets identified under CPV 39531000. Businesses suited to this opportunity would typically supply commercial or institutional carpeting and be able to fulfil a defined requirement for accommodation or residential facilities operated by a university.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It comprised one completed lot. Middlesex Flooring Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026, runs from 3 July 2026 to 3 September 2026, and was awarded on that basis. Its value is £87,818 excluding VAT and £105,381 including VAT. The stated requirement was carpeting for the Penrose flats. The outcome indicates a small, focused purchase rather than a multi-lot framework or large works contract. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the buyer used a direct award under the below-threshold, without-competition route.

This award provides a clear indication that Royal Holloway purchases carpeting for its student or residential accommodation and uses direct awards for below-threshold requirements of this scale. A credible future supplier would need to source and supply commercial-grade carpets, understand the practical requirements of university accommodation, and deliver materials for a defined refurbishment or fit-out need. Installation capability may also be relevant where carpeting is supplied as part of a complete flooring service, although the published requirement identifies the purchase as carpeting. Businesses should be able to demonstrate reliable fulfilment, appropriate product knowledge and the capacity to work around occupied or managed university facilities when comparable requirements return to market.
