Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham has recently awarded a contract for Facilities Management for the High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC), situated at the Ansty Research Park in Coventry. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically classified as "Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services," with a contract value of £1,150,000. The contract commenced on 4th December 2015 and will run until 31st January 2018. The selection process concluded on 31st March 2015, with a direct award made to Mitie, indicating that the services could not be satisfactorily provided by existing providers due to their specialist nature and location requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the facility management sector, particularly those with expertise in specialised cleaning, maintenance, and environmental services tailored to high-tech facilities. Companies with the capacity to deliver comprehensive management solutions and those experienced in collaborating with educational institutions or large industrial partners, such as Rolls Royce, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, especially given the intricate needs of facilities like the HTRC.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Facilities Management for High Temperature Centre

Notice Description

The University is opening a High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) on the Ansty Research Park in Coventry. The HTRC is a collaborative project with a major partner, Rolls Royce. The HTRC is adjacent to the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in which the University and Rolls Royce already have a stake. It was initially envisaged that the Facilities Management (FM) Services could be provided by the University's existing service providers. As the project has developed it has become apparent that the services cannot be provided by the existing providers due to the specialist nature of the HTRC operations, distance from the University and the large number of different providers that would be required to service the HTRC. A contract needs to be put in place beginning of March 2015 in time for the opening of the HTRC in April 2015. The University and Rolls-Royce have analysed the service requirements for the HTRC. An options appraisal has concluded that a contract for Facilities Management with Mitie, MTC's current FM provider, would offer the best option.
