UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Metropolitan University bought the supply and installation of a Man Safe safety restraint system on the roof of M Block at its Llandaff Campus in Cardiff. This is specialist roof and safety-system installation work, intended to provide restraint for people working at height on the building. The requirement covers both supplying the system and installing it, rather than supplying equipment alone. The work is located at the university’s Llandaff Campus, Cardiff. The procurement concerns construction and specialist trade work associated with a roof, with the practical focus on installing a fixed roof safety restraint system for the university’s building and maintenance needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Cardiff Metropolitan University used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Height Safe Systems, an SME based in Wirral, on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 16 September 2026. Its value is £25,055 excluding VAT, or £30,066 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the Man Safe system works. The selected supplier is responsible for the awarded roof safety restraint supply and installation requirement. The recorded contracting route means suppliers were not invited to compete for this procurement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award identifies a specific requirement at Cardiff Metropolitan University: specialist supply and installation of fixed roof safety restraint systems on its estate. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical expertise in roof access and fall-protection systems, the ability to survey or work on an occupied university campus, and sufficient installation capacity to complete a defined building project promptly. Evidence of safe working practices, competent installation personnel, suitable equipment and experience delivering comparable roof safety works would help demonstrate credibility. The award also shows that the university has used a straightforward below-threshold route for a focused specialist requirement, so firms with a clear, established offer in this niche may be relevant when comparable needs arise.
