Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has initiated a procurement process for "Maintenance Services" in the central government public authority category. This tender is active and split into two lots, targeting the Manchester and Glasgow offices, with a focus on mechanical and electrical maintenance. The tender utilizes an open competition method which is below the threshold, indicating opportunities for smaller businesses. Key dates to note include the end of the enquiry period on 15th August 2025 and the closing of the tender period on 28th August 2025. The contract period is set to begin on 1st October 2025, running for 24 months with a potential extension of up to two additional years, indicating long-term opportunities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs engaged in repair and maintenance services, offering a balanced award criterion of price to quality, each weighing at 50%. Given the open procurement approach, businesses with relevant experience in mechanical and electrical services are encouraged to submit bids, potentially enhancing their portfolio and market presence within the UK. With the option to bid for one or both lots, businesses with operations in the specified regions (UKD for Manchester and UKM for Glasgow) are particularly well-placed to benefit from this tender.
