Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Qualifications Authority is inviting tenders for Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEPH) Services as part of their procurement process, which is currently in the tender stage. This open procedure, classified under the CPV code 71313000 for Environmental engineering consultancy services, includes planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, and minor works modifications at SQA-occupied buildings in Scotland, specifically in Glasgow and Midlothian. The total contract value is estimated at £300,000, with the procurement period extending for 1080 days, potentially renewable by an additional 12 months. The procurement is covered by the GPA, and electronic submissions are to be made by 9th June 2025 at 12:00 PM. Site visits will take place on 13th, 14th, and 15th May 2025, with suppliers encouraged to confirm their attendance in advance.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in MEPH services, particularly those capable of providing both preventative and reactive maintenance as well as minor modifications. Businesses that can demonstrate effective methodologies, available resources, and robust disaster recovery plans will find this an advantageous opportunity. The demand for detailed monthly reporting and fair work practices indicates a preference for experienced firms with strong reporting capabilities and ethical employment standards. Companies with a regional presence in Scotland, or the ability to service the Glasgow and Midlothian sites, are especially well-suited to compete for this contract.
