Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sussex is conducting a procurement process for Facilities Management Services through a Competitive Dialogue procedure. The process is in the tender stage and is set to close on 18th December 2023. The project, titled "US_23081 - Facilities Management Services", focuses on the provision of comprehensive management services at the University’s main campus in Falmer, as well as other sites in Brighton. The procurement falls under the "Building and facilities management services" category, with an estimated value of £170,000,000 over a period of 7 years with an optional 3-year extension. Interested suppliers can participate in this selective procurement method aimed at establishing a Limited Liability Partnership with Sussex Estates and Facilities (SEF), a joint venture between the University and the facilities management provider.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in facilities management to partner with a major educational institution and gain steady business growth. Suitable businesses would benefit from innovation and technological adeptness, as the project involves managing various service lines, including maintenance, cleaning, security, and logistics. This partnership would require providers to engage actively with SEF and bring value through high service quality and innovative approaches. The University is looking for a supplier capable of assuming a minority shareholding in SEF, thereby contributing to investment and enhancing the university's service portfolio. Such an opportunity is ideal for established businesses with the capability to manage a large-scale, multi-faceted facilities management operation.
