Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sunderland, a public authority operating under sub-central government classification, has successfully awarded a contract for the "Provision of Building Management System (BMS) Maintenance Services" to Schneider Electric Limited. This procurement, with a starting date on 1 January 2026 and a completion date on 31 December 2028, includes planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, and energy reduction services, with potential renewal annually up to 2030. The open procurement method ensured competitive bidding, culminating in a contract valued at £750,000. Key dates included the tender deadline on 16 October 2025 and the award announcement on 27 November 2025. The services are located in Sunderland, UKC23, within the sector of repair and maintenance services as per CPV classifications.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on building maintenance and energy solutions to expand their portfolios, particularly those with expertise in managing building installations and seeking to enhance energy efficiency. Given that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were well represented in the final bids, similar-sized businesses with competitive quality and pricing capabilities are well-suited for such ventures. The open procedure also suggests that future opportunities in this domain could be accessible for new entrants aiming to enter the public procurement space, provided they can meet the stipulated quality and pricing criteria — 60% weighted on quality and 40% on price.
