Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured electrical installation works for the relocation of its fashion and graphics activities. The requirement concerns the main building on Locksbrook Road and covers associated electrical works, within the broader category of building installation repair and maintenance. It also relates to architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work was to be delivered in the South West of England. Bath Spa University is the buying organisation. This is a construction and specialist building-services requirement rather than the supply of electrical equipment alone, so relevant businesses would be electrical contractors or facilities-management providers able to carry out installation works connected with an internal relocation project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bath Spa University used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below threshold. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2024 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 18 July 2024 to Mannings Facilities Management Limited for GBP 100,966.49. The contract period ran from 29 July 2024 to 30 September 2024. The published procurement estimate was also GBP 100,966.49. The process was treated as works and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a large facilities-management business based in Warmley, Bristol.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates that Bath Spa University buys substantial electrical installation work to support changes to its buildings and academic activities. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to deliver building electrical works associated with an occupied or changing estate, understand relocation-driven installation requirements, and provide the practical coordination expected of a facilities-management contractor. The buyer used a competitive quotation route below the public procurement threshold, so suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to a comparatively focused quotation exercise rather than a large open tender. The selected provider was a large facilities-management company, indicating the value of established delivery capacity and the ability to manage the work as a complete package.
