Summary of the contracting process

Prifysgol Bangor, also known as Bangor University, is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Bangor University Pre Market Engagement Event - Works (£100k to £1m Excl VAT) Framework Award". The process is categorised under the construction work industry, with a focus on developing a framework that could involve electrical, mechanical, and building and grounds works. The location for the pre-market engagement event is at Reichel Hall, Bangor University on 25th November 2025, and suppliers interested in participating must register their interest. The event will provide detailed insights into future tenders between £100,000 and £1,000,000 and will be held under Welsh devolved regulations.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the construction sector, particularly those that can offer services in electrical, mechanical, or building and grounds work. With the framework's potential division into lots and a contract value ranging from £100k to £1m, the project is well-suited for SMEs, VCSEs, and other construction-related businesses capable of delivering these services. Engaging in the pre-market event could be a strategic move for suppliers to understand project requirements, establish connections with Bangor University’s Estates team, and enhance their competitive edge in bidding for future contracts. The framework agreement offers a substantial growth opportunity, especially for enterprises looking to expand their footprint in the Welsh regions (UKL12, UKL11, UKL23) and engage with public authorities under sub-central government classifications.
