UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is currently seeking qualified design and construction teams to undertake the "Design, Supply & Install Air Source Heat Pumps" project. This project forms part of the University's goal to enhance the environmental performance and energy efficiency of their estate, in line with their decarbonisation strategy. The tender, with a gross value of £1,080,000, is open under an 'open competition' procurement method and is categorised under construction work. The tender process is at the active stage, with interested parties expected to submit their proposals by 7 August 2026, with the enquiry period closing on 3 August 2026. The contract, commencing on 24 August 2026, will extend until 24 August 2029 and spans several University locations, primarily within the Carmarthen region in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in sustainable construction and energy efficiency improvements. Given the nature of the project, firms with a background in environmental performance enhancement and experience in large-scale heat pump installations are well-suited to participate. The procurement also encourages participation from SMEs, aligning with the project's aim to foster innovation and cost savings through collaborative effort with the University. With the possibility of similar services being required over a three-year period, and accessibility to the broader UWTSD Group and Pembrokeshire College, successful contractors could secure further engagements and bolster their presence in the education sector's sustainability initiatives.
