Summary of the contracting process

Chichester College Group procured mechanical and electrical (M&E) maintenance services across its estate. The work covers maintaining the group’s estate; the procurement does not break the requirement down into specific systems, tasks or campuses. The buyer is Chichester College Group, based in Chichester, England. The listed delivery address is in Chichester, and the procurement also describes coverage at United Kingdom level. This is a services requirement for firms providing building mechanical and electrical maintenance, rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Paine Manwaring. The award date was 6 October 2026 and the awarded value is £1,402,778. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The competition used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was presented as a single estate-wide service, with no separate lots stated. The published procurement information does not set out a specific evaluation formula or weighting, so no particular price-versus-quality balance can be reported.

The award confirms demand from Chichester College Group for ongoing mechanical and electrical maintenance across its estate, on a multi-year, estate-wide basis. A supplier competing for this requirement when it next returns to market would need to demonstrate the practical capacity to maintain building M&E systems across multiple sites or facilities, organise responsive and planned maintenance, and sustain service delivery over a substantial contract term. Relevant evidence would include experience maintaining comparable institutional or educational estates, appropriately qualified engineering staff, effective scheduling and fault-response arrangements, and the ability to manage work consistently across the group’s estate. The buyer used an open procedure and the competition was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms could be relevant if they can credibly deliver the full scope, either directly or through a suitable delivery model. No particular accreditation or technical standard is stated in the available procurement information.
