Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln, a public authority operating under sub-central government control, has awarded a contract for the "Flushing of Little Used Water Outlets" at their student accommodation. Based in Lincoln, UKF region, the University initiated this procurement through a limited competition method, employing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. The contract has been awarded to GUARDIAN HYGIENE SERVICES LIMITED. Starting from 29th June 2026, the project will unfold over a 10-week programme during the summer months. The contract is established under the NEC4 Term Service Short Contract with an initial 12-month period and a provision for an additional 12-month extension, should both parties agree. This contract, signed on 4th June 2026, holds a gross value of £95,040.

This contract provides potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services of electrical and mechanical building installations. SMEs, such as those offering hygiene and maintenance services, could find this kind of tender particularly suitable as it employs the NEC4 contractual framework and allows for extension possibilities. Businesses located within or near the UKF region, possessing the necessary qualifications to perform such services, are well-placed to compete for similar opportunities in the future. The requirement for limited competition in procurement methods may offer a competitive edge to businesses with proven track records and existing relationships with public institutions.
