Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has issued a tender for a Mechanical & Electrical Contractors Framework, seeking to establish a framework for both mechanical and electrical works, with individual project values up to £500,000. The framework will cater to projects across Nottingham, UK and London, UK, reinforcing NTU's infrastructure capabilities. The tender process, which is currently active and follows an open procurement method, allows for further competition to assign individual projects starting from 1st April 2026. Key dates include the closing of the tender period on 28th January 2026 and the award period ending on 23rd February 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in installation, repair, and maintenance of electrical and mechanical equipment. With the potential to form partnerships under framework agreements, successful tenderers will engage in a mix of design-and-build projects, small-scale remedial works, and ongoing dayworks. Businesses with strengths in quality technical criteria and competitive pricing—especially those that align with the needs of public undertakings—are particularly well-suited. The framework supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and offers business growth opportunities through its structured yet expansive contract scope.

Notice Title

Mechanical & Electrical Contractors Framework

Notice Description

NTU is looking to set up a Mechanical & Electrical Works Framework - Lot 1 Mechanical Works up to approximately PS500,000; Lot 2 - Electrical Works up to PS500,000. NTU Will use further competition to award individual projects. The successful tenderers will form a framework, and it is anticipated this will consist of a maximum four contractors per Lot. The framework will include both physical contract works and, in some cases, require the contractor to design the works they will install. Essentially, this will be a design-and-build service where NTU provides a project brief or performance specification, and the supplier assumes responsibility for developing and installing the solution. The framework must also cover smaller-scale or lower-value remedial works, call-outs, and dayworks.
