Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth has recently completed a procurement process for the ventilation improvements and LED lighting upgrades within the Scott Building, located at Plymouth, Devon, UK. This procurement, in the works category, followed an open procedure and commenced the contract award stage. The tender received its award on 21 March 2025, with an overall contract period spanning from 1 May 2025 to 31 May 2026. Managed by the buying organisation, the University of Plymouth, this procurement sought to enhance mechanical and electrical infrastructure in line with specific classification codes related to ventilation and electrical installation work. The awarded contract is valued at £958,461 GBP and was given to the supplier Drew & Co.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in mechanical and electrical engineering services, particularly those specialising in HVAC systems and LED upgrades.

Engaging in similar public procurement processes allows businesses to expand their portfolios, gain considerable experience with large-scale installations, and strengthen their reputation within the industry.
