Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has initiated a contract for the provision of a Carrier Chillers Maintenance Measured Term Contract (MTC) for the years 2026-2030. This contract falls under the services category and involves repair and maintenance services of cooler groups, with an estimated value of GBP 363,874. The procurement stage is currently in the award stage, having been awarded to Carrier Solutions UK Ltd as of 28 January 2026. This procurement was conducted using a negotiated procedure without prior publication, following a lack of competitive bids due to technical reasons specific to the services needed.

Companies capable of providing a 24-hour call-out service with qualified engineers experienced with Carrier equipment are well-suited for this maintenance contract. The project includes maintaining chillers to manufacturer's specifications, accessing monitoring software, and staying updated with technological advancements. Such contracts not only ensure a steady revenue stream over a four-year period but also bolster a company's portfolio with a prestigious client such as a renowned educational institution.
