Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University is engaging in a selective procurement process to secure a supplier for the provision of white goods, categorized under the 'Electrical domestic appliances' industry. This opportunity is intended to support the operational needs of both their Midlands and national campuses, including major sites in Scarborough and London. The tender has been updated as of 21 November 2025, following a change in the suppliers initially awarded. Bids could be submitted for one or both lots of the agreement, which currently has a two-year duration with the possibility of two one-year extensions. The procurement began in February 2025, with contracts initially signed in July 2025. The agreement was originally based on a restricted procedure, emphasizing quality and cost-effectiveness in its award criteria (60% quality and 40% price).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the goods supply and servicing sector, particularly those specialising in domestic appliances. Companies positioned with a strong local presence and the ability to deliver rapid responses, maintain stock levels, and provide long-term maintenance are ideal candidates. SMEs, like MARRS Domestics Ltd, have successfully competed in this bid and large firms such as Stearn Electric Co Ltd were also awarded the contract, suggesting that both small and large enterprises can find growth opportunities through this tender. Suppliers who can deliver services efficiently and economically, especially with established infrastructure in the West Midlands and other UK regions, are well-suited to benefit from this procurement process.
