Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford recently completed a procurement process for the maintenance of pressurisation equipment and auxiliary systems within its campus facilities. The contract was awarded on 29th January 2026 to Dynamic FM Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Urmston, UK. This procurement, categorised under water plumbing work, involved an open competition process below threshold, ensuring broad participation. It began with a tender process announced in October 2025, which invited suitably qualified maintenance companies to bid for a significant project within the "Works" category. The scope of this contract includes a comprehensive maintenance programme over a three-year period, starting from 2nd February 2026, with a potential two-year extension. The total contract value is £63,047.96, and maintenance activities will be conducted across the University of Salford’s various buildings.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for firms specialising in facilities management and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in servicing potable, chilled, and low-temperature hot water systems. Companies capable of providing high-quality, responsive maintenance services, demonstrated by offering an emergency call-out service, would find this contract aligns well with industry standards and requirements. The emphasis on both price and quality, with a 40% to 60% weighting, respectively, suggests that companies that can deliver superior quality service at competitive pricing are particularly well-positioned to grow their presence and reputation within this sector. The extension option further presents prospects for long-term partnership and increased revenue stability, making this an attractive opportunity for large maintenance firms aiming to solidify and expand their market share.
