Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Facilities Management Services at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) is now complete, with the contract awarded on 21st October 2025 to CBRE Managed Services Ltd. The contract, valued at £12,564,039, covers services in the Poole region and was conducted via a restricted procedure, a type of selective procurement for services in the "Facilities management services" industry category. Originally, the tendering stage included a prequalification questionnaire phase, with a submission deadline set for 17th January 2025, and it specifically catered to electronic submissions. The process was aimed at ensuring the quality and competitiveness of the bids, focussing heavily on quality and presentation as award criteria.

The tender provided substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in facilities management, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive services and demonstrating superior quality and competitive pricing. With Arts University Bournemouth as the central purchasing body, this contract opens avenues for both large firms like CBRE Managed Services Ltd and small or medium enterprises (SMEs), which were encouraged to participate, evidenced by four bids received, including one from an SME. The selective nature of the procurement method ensured that only suitably qualified and capable businesses could bid, fostering growth and ensuring robust competition in the facilities management sector. Businesses well-versed in electronic bidding and adhering to strict submission guidelines would find such tenders particularly advantageous for expanding their footprint in the educational sector.
