[PPN 005: reserving by supplier location](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ppn-005-reserving-below-threshold-procurements/ppn-005-guide-to-reserving-below-threshold-html) - Below-threshold contract Buyers cannot shortlist bidders on suitability before tenders are in, so everyone gets to submit a bid (except some larger works contracts). [Procurement Act 2023, section 85](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/section/85) - Open procedure Anyone can submit a full tender; there is no shortlisting stage. ## About this tender The project aims to transform the existing 850sqm canteen-style space into a modern, multipurpose campus lounge designed to support longer dwell times, agile working, and social interaction. The required building works include removing two existing serveries down to a single delivery point, undertaking small flooring replacements where necessary, and making only minor M&E adjustments such as rerouting power via ceiling drops or columns. The overall project budget is £500k inc. VAT. A hard deadline of 01/09 applies. Suppliers are expected to deliver a turnkey design and build solution, providing 2-3 high quality 3D visuals, detailed floor plans, and a fully itemised pricing schedule covering all works and replacement furniture. Designs should move the space away from a canteen aesthetic towards a business lounge feel, incorporating a mix of robust seating types and potentially reusing existing furniture where appropriate. No powered furniture, AV installation, CCTV, or major M&E upgrades are required; WiFi upgrades will be managed through IT separately. The back kitchen and Staff Common Room are out of scope. Proposals must also outline feasible timescales, risk mitigation measures, and sequencing that enables works to start on a live site from 15/06 while maintaining safe access and egress.
