## Summary

The University of Bath is seeking one principal contractor to replace metal barrel roofs across its buildings. The first project is the Pentathlon Hall at the Sports Training Village: roof replacement, installation of roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels and associated low-voltage electrical work. The framework is also intended to cover later roof replacements at other university buildings, anticipated to include the Library. The contractor will first provide pre-construction services for the Pentathlon Hall, then carry out the construction work; further projects will be commissioned under the framework using the products, specification and rates agreed through this procurement. The work is in Bath. This is a construction and building-services opportunity covering roofing, solar installation and electrical work.

The University invited tenders through a competitive flexible procedure with multiple stages and a final best-and-final-offer process. The procurement is for one lot and a single-supplier framework. The stated maximum value is £5 million including VAT. Enquiries were due by 30 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and expressions of interest by 2 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The anticipated award decision date is 2 February 2027. The initial contract period is 8 February to 31 August 2027. Bids are assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the invitation-to-tender documents. The framework is intended to run to 1 July 2031.

This opportunity suits principal contractors with the capacity to manage roof-replacement projects from pre-construction through delivery, including coordination of roofing, solar photovoltaic installation and low-voltage electrical works. Relevant experience delivering complex building works and integrating these trades will be important, as the initial Pentathlon Hall project may be followed by further university roof replacements, including the anticipated Library works. The procurement is marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Competition is based more heavily on quality than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible technical approach and delivery capability alongside a competitive commercial offer. The single-contractor framework offers a route to subsequent call-off work using the agreed products, specification and rates.

## Notice

The University of Bath ("the University") is inviting tenders for the appointment of a single principal contractor to establish a framework arrangement for the replacement of its metal barrel roofs. The framework will comprise: *An immediate requirement to replace the roof at the Sports Training Village (STV) Pentathlon Hall, including the installation of roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels and associated low-voltage (LV) electrical works; and *A future requirement for further metal barrel roof replacement works at other University buildings (currently anticipated to include the Library), to be called off from the framework on the products, specification and rates established through this tender. The appointed contractor will be engaged initially under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) for the Pentathlon Hall works, followed by a construction contract for delivery.
