UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Ulster University, located in Coleraine, United Kingdom, pertained to the provision of Smoke Ventilation Maintenance Services. This open procurement process was conducted under the "Services" category and had a projected contract value of GBP 1,385,066.46. Despite the initial active status and the significant potential engagement through an open procedure, the procurement was terminated following the conditions of participation stage on 7th May 2026, as no suitable bids met the necessary criteria to progress to the tender stage. The process was governed by the Procurement Act 2023, highlighting a degree of urgency under accelerated procedure terms.

This tender provided an opportunity for businesses specialising in fire suppression and prevention installations, as well as maintenance of building systems, to secure a substantial contract with Ulster University. Companies offering competitive pricing and high-quality service delivery were particularly well-suited to compete, given the award criteria weighting of 60% on commercial submission and 40% on quality. Although this specific opportunity was cancelled, similar future tenders could provide excellent prospects for growth, especially for businesses equipped to meet quick response times and stringent compliance requirements in the Northern Ireland region.
