Opportunity overview

The University of Bath, Estates and Campus Infrastructure directorate, invites Expressions of Interest from specialist principal contractors for a decarbonisation project at the Sports Training Vehicle (STV), a high-performance sporting facility on the University's Claverton Down campus. Phase 1 requires the full replacement of one of the STV roofs, including strip-out of the existing covering, supply and installation of a new roofing system specified to accommodate photovoltaic panel loading, and associated structural and enabling works. Phase 1 must be substantially complete within the University's summer 2027 break. This programme window is fixed and non-negotiable. Subsequent phases for the other STV roofs will be discussed. Early design work has been undertaken by a structural engineer and MEP consultants. The University is seeking contractors who can demonstrate specialist capability in roofing and PV/electrical installations, a credible plan to deliver Phase 1 within the fixed summer 2027 window, and a commitment to best-in-class products and innovative approaches that reflect the facility's profile. Strong sustainability credentials, including low embodied carbon and responsible product sourcing, are expected. All responses must be submitted through the Delta eProcurement Portal. Direct contact with University staff outside of the portal may be considered canvassing and could result in exclusion from the tender stage.
