Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford has completed the procurement process for the supply of dehumidifiers for its environmental research and testing chambers at Energy House 2.0, located at the Frederick Road Campus in Salford. The procurement, identified by the title "EH2 Dehumidifiers," falls within the 'goods' category, specifically targeting the provision of dehumidifiers. The buying organisation, classified as a sub-central government public authority, utilised an open competition procurement method suitable for below-threshold contracts. Key dates involved in the process included the contract award on 7th May 2025 and the contract period running from 12th May to 1st July 2025. The tender was initially published on 31st March 2025, with submission of bids concluded by 7th April 2025. The procurement concluded with an award to Dryserve Limited, located in Wokingham, Berkshire.

This procurement process presented opportunities for large companies in the industrial machinery sector, particularly those specialising in electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, and consumables, to expand their business with academic institutions by providing specialised equipment. Although the competition was open, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) did not secure participation in the final award stage, highlighting the potential for such companies to explore similar future opportunities in research-focused projects. The contract valued at £52,100 exemplifies substantial business growth potential for suppliers able to provide competitive pricing, adherence to technical specifications, warranty, and reliable delivery within the designated timeframe.
