About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Hobson and Porter Ltd for the new build construction of the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Centre, an ERDF-funded project managed on behalf of the Department of Estates and Facilities Management.
The contract was re-awarded after the initially successful contractor withdrew, and the submissions were re-evaluated.
The contract value was £2,171,000, later increased through successive modifications under regulation 72 (b) (i) due to economic and technical reasons preventing a change in contractor, with no individual modification exceeding 10% and cumulative modifications not exceeding 50%.
