Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University has established a multi-supplier works framework for one-off capital, refurbishment and upgrade projects across its estate. It covers three work areas: electrical installations, mechanical installations, and buildings and grounds works. Electrical work includes lighting, power, fire alarms, security, access control, data cabling, switchgear, emergency lighting, generators, earthing, testing and commissioning. Mechanical work includes heating, ventilation and air conditioning, boilers, chillers, air-handling units, pipework, plant rooms, building-management systems, plumbing, drainage, gas and water-hygiene works linked to projects. Buildings and grounds work includes structural repairs, reconfiguration, roofing, cladding, joinery, finishes, doors, accessibility upgrades, glazing, builders’ work, paving, fencing, drainage and fire stopping. Servicing, planned maintenance and statutory compliance testing are excluded. The buyer is Bangor University, and delivery is across its university estate in Wales.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and Welsh procurement regulations. The framework has three lots, each with a stated value of £6,000,000 excluding VAT (£7,200,000 gross): Lot 1 electrical works was awarded to Kimpton Ltd, Owen & Palmer Ltd, KHS Mechanical Ltd and Jackwolf Group Ltd; Lot 2 mechanical works was awarded to Kimpton Ltd, KHS Mechanical Ltd, Jackwolf Group Ltd and Domino Mechanical and Electrical Ltd; Lot 3 buildings and grounds works was awarded to ML Hughes Construction Ltd, Owen & Palmer Ltd, Kimpton Ltd and MPH Construction Ltd. Each award is dated 6 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Evaluation was 55% commercial, 35% technical and 10% social value. Call-offs may use direct award, competitive quotes or mini-competitions.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Bangor University for project-based electrical, mechanical, construction and external works rather than routine maintenance. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable technical competence in one or more of the three disciplines, the capacity to deliver discrete projects valued between £100,000 and £1 million, and the financial strength to undertake above-threshold public-sector work. Relevant experience should cover refurbishment, upgrades, installation, testing and commissioning, with specialist capability matched to the chosen lot. The competitive outcome also shows that smaller businesses can compete: the framework was suitable for SMEs and all four appointed suppliers on each lot were SMEs. A credible competitor would need to evidence quality delivery, competitive pricing and measurable social value, since these together determine the evaluation outcome.
