Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has completed the contracting process for the provision of Mechanical Services under the contract titled "CPU 8027 Mechanical Services." This initiative falls under the "works" industry category with a focus on mechanical installations, and is located in the UKF14 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed via an open procedure, with the relevant tender processes conducted leading to a contract award. The process reached the award stage as of 17 June 2026, with the contract active from 29 June 2026 until 28 June 2030, including potential for renewal. The gross contract value is £5.4 million, with a net value of £4.5 million, allowing Nottingham City Council, a public authority within sub-central government, to manage and commission mechanical works and installations on a 24/7 basis.

This procurement opportunity presents substantial prospects for business growth, especially for SMEs specialising in mechanical installations and services. Companies like Miller Freeman & Sons (Nottingham) Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, can harness the potential for project design, installation, and reactive maintenance services to expand their market presence and operate continuously throughout the year. The contract's secured renewal clause offers a long-term engagement potential, particularly appealing to firms with capacity for high-quality projects and reactive order completion. With nine valid bids from various tenderers at the final stage, the tender attracted considerable interest from small to medium enterprises, highlighting the competitive and inclusive nature of the tendering environment fostered by Nottingham City Council.
