Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of white goods by Coventry University Group (CUG) has been successfully completed with an award announced on 11th September 2025. This contract relates to the supply, delivery, and servicing of electrical domestic appliances across CUG's campuses, encompassing two lots: one for the West Midlands campuses and another for national campuses including Scarborough and London. The contract was conducted using a restricted procedure below the threshold, and offers a contract period beginning on 2nd October 2025 and potentially extending until 1st October 2029. The procurement is primarily classified under the "Electrical domestic appliances" category (CPV code 39710000), with the procurement stage now at the award phase and targeted suitable for SMEs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering reliable and efficient services to meet campus operational needs. Businesses with a strong local servicing infrastructure and the ability to maintain sufficient stock levels will find this contract highly suitable. With the possibility of extending the contract up to four years, companies specialising in electrical domestic appliances, rapid response services, and on-demand supply chain management are particularly well-positioned to benefit. The business engagement was structured to encourage participation by allowing bids for individual lots, making it accessible to both small and large scale enterprises looking to expand their footprint within the UK’s educational sector.
