Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured replacement of chilled-water pipework for its Commons facility. The requirement is primarily a goods procurement covering cooling and ventilation equipment, with associated construction, engineering, inspection, building and facilities-management activity. The work was to be delivered in the South West of England, for the university as buyer. In practical terms, the opportunity concerned removing and replacing existing chilled-water pipework rather than supplying general heating, ventilation or routine maintenance services. Businesses operating in commercial cooling systems, mechanical building services, pipework installation or facilities engineering would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can undertake replacement works within an occupied or operational university estate.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bath Spa University used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. Bids were due by 10 July 2024. The contract was awarded on 11 July 2024 to Mannings Facilities Management Limited for £115,974.72 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 11 July 2024 to 31 August 2024. The procurement was classified as a goods requirement, with related engineering, construction and facilities-management elements. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Bath Spa University for chilled-water pipework replacement delivered through a below-threshold competitive quotation route. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in cooling and ventilation systems, chilled-water pipework replacement, mechanical installation and associated construction or engineering work. It would also need to manage inspection and facilities-management interfaces, and demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver a focused building-services project for a university estate. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, so competitors should be prepared to evidence comparable delivery capacity, relevant technical experience and reliable project management for this type of requirement.
