## Summary

The University of Staffordshire procured demolition, design and construction services for its Public Realm Project at the Stoke-on-Trent Campus. The works covered a new car park and associated public realm, completion of existing pedestrian works, and demolition of multiple existing buildings. The requirement was classified as construction work and formed part of the university’s campus development programme. Delivery was at the university’s Stoke-on-Trent site. The procurement was managed and funded by the University of Staffordshire, with the appointed contractor responsible for delivering the integrated construction and design scope. The requirement also continued earlier works following a prior notice concerning a pre-construction services agreement, so relevant suppliers would need to understand the existing project context and interfaces with completed or ongoing campus works.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited. The contract was awarded through the Places for People Framework Agreement using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was that the award was made compliantly through the framework. Price was the award criterion. One bid was recorded, and it was submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 for £8,065,533.45. The procurement was organised as one lot; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. The available outcome therefore identifies Willmott Dixon Construction Limited as the selected supplier and records the contract as signed rather than merely planned or evaluated.

This procurement is commercially relevant to principal contractors and construction businesses able to combine building demolition, design coordination, car-park construction, public-realm works and pedestrian infrastructure in a live university-campus setting. A credible competitor would need the capacity to manage several linked workstreams, coordinate design and construction, and control interfaces with existing buildings, completed pedestrian works and the wider campus environment. Experience delivering substantial construction projects for public-sector or education clients would strengthen a future proposition, alongside robust health and safety, programme management, quality assurance and stakeholder coordination. The route used here also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, relevant public-sector frameworks. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate framework capability, reliable delivery at major-project scale and a competitive price-led offer.
