Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process titled "Mechanical & Electrical Contractors Framework" in the industry category of installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment. Located in the United Kingdom, particularly in Nottingham and other regions (UKF14, UKI3), this opportunity involves setting up a framework for mechanical and electrical works, with individual projects to be awarded through further competition. The tender follows an open procurement procedure with a closing date for tender submissions on 30th January 2026, and an enquiry period ending on 29th January 2026. Contracts are anticipated to commence on 1st April 2026 and last until 31st March 2028, potentially extending to 2030, with an overall procurement value of £3.2 million.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for contractors, particularly SMEs, specialising in design-and-build services for mechanical and electrical installations. With two lots available, each capped at £500,000 per project, businesses can participate in both Lot 1 for mechanical works and Lot 2 for electrical works. The framework also requires service providers to handle smaller scale or remedial works. This contract allows businesses to establish or expand their relationship with NTU and gain significant portfolio credentials in the public sector. Due to the framework's nature, engaging with NTU could lead to recurring engagements, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses aiming to leverage their technical and pricing capabilities within public undertakings.

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.
