UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured replacement of the extract ventilation fan and motor serving the Clifford Whitworth building. The works involved removing the existing fan and motor from the extract ductwork, installing new equipment and providing a support framework. The contractor was also responsible for removing or remediating suspected asbestos-containing materials in the work area as needed to complete the works. The university intended to appoint one principal contractor to deliver the whole package. This is a mechanical building-services project combining ventilation equipment replacement, installation work and asbestos-related remediation. Delivery was in the United Kingdom; the procurement data does not identify a more specific work location.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Environment & Power Technology Limited. The award date was 20 May 2026, with a stated award value of £170,590.56 excluding VAT (£204,708.67 including VAT). The award period ran from 1 June to 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and its recorded period runs from 3 to 17 September 2026; the contract value is £170,590.56 excluding VAT (£204,708.67 including VAT). There was one lot, awarded as a single package. The university used a selective process, awarding below-threshold work under a framework; the call-off was competitive. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand at the University of Salford for a principal contractor able to manage a complete extract-ventilation replacement package, rather than supply a fan alone. A credible competitor would need to coordinate safe removal of existing equipment, installation of a replacement fan and motor, suitable support steelwork, and asbestos removal or remediation where required. The selected supplier delivered the package as a single contractor, so firms with mechanical building-services delivery capability and experience managing work around suspected asbestos are relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The competitive call-off was made under a framework, making access to the relevant framework route important for competing on comparable work. The award indicates a substantial, integrated building-works package, rather than routine fan maintenance.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Clifford Whitworth extract fan replacement

Notice Description

The existing extract ventilation fan has reached the end of its serviceable life and is no longer operating as intended. It is proposed that the existing fan and motor within the extract ductwork be fully removed and replaced with new. New support framework will be required to facilitate the installation. It is also suspected that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present within the work area, which the contractor will be required to remove or remediate as necessary to enable completion of the works. The University intends to appoint a Principal Contractor to deliver all elements of the works under a single package.
