Summary of the contracting process

LTE Group is buying mechanical and electrical servicing and maintenance across four sites. The work covers building services and installations, including mechanical and electrical engineering and repair and maintenance. The procurement is for one supplier to provide the services for the group. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Manchester; individual site locations are not identified in the available location data. The requirement is service work rather than the supply of standalone goods or construction works. This is a recurring facilities-maintenance requirement for a multi-site public-sector education group, encompassing both mechanical and electrical systems.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Key Integrated Services Limited. The award was made on 16 March 2026 and the contract was signed on 30 March 2026. The signed contract runs from 14 May 2026 to 30 March 2028, with up to two 12-month extensions; the maximum extent is 30 March 2030. The contract value is £304,028 excluding VAT (£364,833.60 including VAT). The original competition used an open competitive flexible procedure, with a selection questionnaire followed by an invitation to tender and standstill. Six bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Quality carried 60% of the evaluation weighting and price 40%. The procurement was a single-lot requirement; SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. A proposed contract modification relates to previously omitted goods, with a stated value of £152,443.90 including VAT.

For suppliers targeting future facilities-maintenance work with LTE Group, this award shows demand for a single provider able to service mechanical and electrical systems across four sites. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant experience delivering both disciplines and the operational capacity to manage multi-site maintenance. The selection stage required evidence of business quality standards and accreditations, alongside relevant experience, so suppliers should be prepared to substantiate those credentials and complete a robust pre-qualification response. The evaluation gave greater weight to quality than price, making service delivery proposals, technical competence and assurance evidence central to competitiveness alongside cost. The award went to a large supplier, but the requirement was expressly deemed suitable for SMEs and social enterprises, indicating that smaller organisations with the necessary breadth, qualifications and delivery capacity could also be relevant when this buyer next procures comparable services.
