Summary of the contracting process

Forth Valley College, a public body governed by law in the United Kingdom, has completed the tender award process for the provision of student accommodation services at its Falkirk Campus. The contract, valued at £995,231 GBP, was signed on 4th December 2025 and awarded to the University of Stirling as the active supplier. The procurement process follows an open procedure under the GPA, specifically addressing the hotel services industry category (CPV 55100000). The tender included a section for quality assessment, with criteria spanning accommodation suitability, hygiene, safety standards, and sustainability considerations. While the tender stage has seen active engagement, key dates included tender submissions by 6th October 2025, with a proposed contract period starting from 5th January 2026 to 31st May 2027, and potential extension until May 2030.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation services, particularly those within the Falkirk region (UKM76). With requirements centred around hotel accommodation services (CPV 55110000), companies adept at offering quality, safe, and sustainable options have a competitive edge. Businesses that meet the stipulated criteria, such as insurance levels and good work practices, and that can accommodate variant proposals for expanding the student groups, are well-suited for this procurement offer. The submission method encourages electronic submissions, facilitating accessibility for businesses equipped for digital documentation. Due to the active interest shown by SMEs and non-EU bidders, companies may benefit from exploring partnerships or enhancing their electronic bidding capabilities for future opportunities with Forth Valley College.
