Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Electrical and data maintenance framework" at the University of Aberdeen is a recently completed tender focused on the repair and maintenance services industry. Managed through an open procedure, this contract, classified under CPV code 50000000, pertains to services related to reactive, planned, and statutory electrical maintenance. The framework, intended for the University's King's College location in Aberdeen (region UKM50), started with its award on 23rd July 2025, valued at £240,000 GBP. Initially published on 31st January 2025, the tender process transitioned through various stages before reaching its conclusion, with the contract signed and handed over to the selected suppliers. While the procurement is now complete, it marked an organised approach to structured service maintenance, crucial for the university's infrastructural integrity.

Business opportunities created by this procurement include potential growth for enterprises specialising in electrical repairs and maintenance, particularly those equipped to handle general electrical repairs, certified inspection and testing, and remedial works within educational institutions. Companies like Ethos Facilities and OCS Ltd, who collaborated with the university as primary suppliers, demonstrate success in winning such contracts. This framework can prove immensely beneficial for large-scale contractors seeking continued engagement within the public sector, along with small to medium enterprises aiming to develop their capabilities in providing certified and comprehensive maintenance services.
