Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has concluded the procurement process for PURCH2790, the contract for the provision of accommodation services and hard facilities management services. This process pertains to the repair and maintenance industry, classified under CPV code 50000000. Located in Glasgow, the contract supports the university's estate across several locations. Originally issued under a competitive procedure with negotiation, this selective procurement method has reached the award stage. Key dates in this process included a tender deadline originally set for 20th October 2025, later extended to 27th October 2025, and the contract was signed on 22nd June 2026, with an estimated value of approximately £4,484,304. The contract, awarded to Lovat's Group Ltd, is intended to last for a fixed term of three years, with the possibility of three extensions of 12 months each.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in repair and maintenance services, particularly those capable of handling extensive facilities management projects. The contract emphasises the strategic fit with the University's needs, making it ideal for companies attuned to providing quality services aligned with education sector requirements. Companies with a focus on community benefits, such as living wage initiatives, apprentice opportunities, and training, would find this contract beneficial. Additionally, firms with experience in working with older, heritage-listed buildings requiring specialist care, and those prepared to adopt technological solutions, such as electronic ordering and payments, are well-suited to compete for similar future tenders.
