Summary of the contracting process

The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) North, West and Hebrides has completed an open procurement process for the "Provision of Electrical Contract Services (Planned and Reactive)" under the services industry category. This process encompassed contract services across various geographic locations including the North and West Highlands, Skye, and the Outer Hebrides. Initially active, the tender phase closed with the award phase being completed on 2nd October 2025. The tender was divided into two lots, each to procure a contractor for planned and reactive maintenance, with the contract promising work for projects valued up to GBP15,000 per job. The awarded supplier for both lots was G & A Barnie Group Ltd., with the contracts amounting to GBP135,700 and GBP164,000 respectively. The procurement process was conducted as an open procedure, adhering to relevant legal frameworks and guidelines applicable within the UK region UKM.

This tender offers significant business opportunities for companies specialising in electrical repair and maintenance services. Businesses well-versed in planned and reactive maintenance for public educational institutions would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. It presents a chance to establish or expand services within the Hebrides, Highlands, and Skye regions. The technical quality was a major deciding criterion, accounting for 70% of the award criteria, which suggests that firms with a strong focus on quality service provision and competitive pricing (which held a 30% weight) would be well-positioned to vie for similar future contracts. Such frameworks can provide sustained business growth potential through recurring maintenance needs and the probability of subsequent procurement exercises for larger projects exceeding the initial value threshold.
