Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured routine servicing, testing and maintenance of fire dampers across its estate, covering all dampers listed in the asset register. The work is building-installation maintenance, with one service visit per year and compliance with relevant legislation and standards. Delivery is across the University estate in Worcester. The requirement is for a contractor able to maintain the full estate-wide fire-damper inventory rather than supply equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PREMIER CLEAN UK LTD, a Deeside-based supplier. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026. Its stated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two optional 12-month renewals subject to satisfactory performance, extending at most to 31 October 2030. This was a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 13 May 2026. Quality carried 65% of the evaluation weighting and price 35%.

For suppliers considering comparable work for the University of Worcester, this award demonstrates demand for recurring, estate-wide fire-damper servicing rather than a one-off repair. A credible competitor would need the capacity to service, test and maintain every damper on an asset register, provide an annual service interval, and work across the University estate in Worcester. Delivery must meet applicable legislation and standards, so relevant fire-damper maintenance expertise and the ability to evidence compliant work would be important. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, indicating that a strong technical and service-quality offer matters alongside competitive pricing. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a small business.
