Summary of the contracting process

Askham Bryan College procured a Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Consultancy Services Framework for professional engineering support to construction and development projects across the College estate. The requirement covers mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy for works projects, including projects valued up to £250,000, £250,000 to £500,000, £500,000 to £750,000, and £750,000 to £1 million. The work is associated with the College’s estate in Askham Bryan, York, and may support projects across the United Kingdom. The relevant service category is mechanical and electrical engineering services (CPV 71334000). This is a services opportunity for firms providing consultancy input to building, estate development and construction projects, rather than the supply of equipment or delivery of construction works themselves.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 22 March 2026, and the framework period runs from 23 March 2026 to 22 March 2028. The award was made on 18 August 2026 to LINK MEP CONSULTING ENGINEERS LTD and HORIZON BUILDING SERVICES CONSULTANTS LTD, jointly covering the framework’s four project-value lots. The published awarded value is £1 GBP. The requirement was divided into four lots by the value of the underlying works project: up to £250,000; £250,000–£500,000; £500,000–£750,000; and £750,000–£1 million. The process is complete, and the award is recorded as active. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details.

This award indicates established demand from Askham Bryan College for external mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy supporting a broad range of estate construction and development projects. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be qualified and experienced M&E engineering consultancies able to advise across multiple project-value bands, from smaller works through to projects valued at up to £1 million. Credibility would come from the capacity to provide professional engineering expertise throughout building and estate projects, and to work across the College’s estate rather than on a single specialist installation. The framework’s inclusion of two appointed consultancies shows that the buyer uses specialist engineering firms for this type of work and that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
