Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University has completed a procurement process for the "Warsash Hot Unit Annual Repairs" project, focusing on the annual steelwork repairs for their Warsash Fire Hot unit. This falls under the industry category of works, specifically structural steelworks, with the location being Southampton, UK. The tender was conducted with a limited procurement method, where local suppliers were sought after, resulting in the award being made to SOUTHERN ENGINEERING & MARINE CO LTD. The contract, valued at GBP 40,405.20 gross, was awarded as the final stage in its procurement cycle, with the period of performance set from 10th August to 28th August 2026.

This procurement provides opportunities for businesses specialising in structural steelworks to engage with public sector projects, particularly if they are located or can operate in southern England. The project underscores the demand for local expertise in maintenance and repair within educational institutions and similar setups. This particular tender, being under a limited competition framework, might appeal to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like engineering firms and steelwork specialists, who can offer competitive quotes and rapid deployment capabilities. Being a below-threshold procurement, it highlights potential ease of access for smaller suppliers to secure government contracts, promoting significant growth opportunities.
