Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by SRUC, acting on behalf of itself, involves a comprehensive Framework Agreement for the supply and installation of Network Cabling at its campuses and regional offices. This agreement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically network cabling, and covers several locations across Scotland. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, culminating in multiple awards for the central Scotland lot, with the tender stage now complete. The latest contracts were signed on 31st July 2025, following a bid opening date on 4th July 2025. The procurement process carried an estimated value of £300,000 and was covered by the GPA agreements.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network cabling and installations to expand their operations through regular mini-competitions during the framework's lifecycle. The nature of the competition encourages participation from both small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger establishments, as demonstrated by the variably scaled businesses that won the awards. Companies with relevant industry accreditations such as FIA, Q-Mark Fire stopping Installation Certification, and others are particularly well-suited to competing. By participating, businesses can enhance their market presence and secure a stable pipeline of work through the framework's recurring requirements.
