Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David Group and Pembrokeshire College are establishing a multi-supplier framework for property-related minor works, reactive maintenance and specialist trade services across their estates. The fourteen workstreams cover general building, mechanical and plumbing, electrical, civil engineering, IT infrastructure, roofing, glazing and doors, flooring, drainage, painting and decorating, structural steel and welding, fire compartmentation remediation, 24/7 plumbing and emergency repairs, and locksmith and electronic access-control systems. The work supports planned maintenance, lifecycle replacement, statutory compliance, refurbishment, alterations, urgent repairs and out-of-hours response. Work may take place in occupied or unoccupied academic buildings, offices, student accommodation, specialist facilities and external areas across Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, London and Birmingham.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited offers through an open procedure for an open framework agreement, with contracts awarded with or without reopening competition. Suppliers may bid for one, several or all fourteen lots, which are evaluated independently. The framework has an estimated value of £23,000,000 excluding VAT (£27,600,000 including VAT). Enquiries had to be submitted by noon on 29 September 2026, and tenders by noon on 6 October 2026. The initial contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2030, with an extension option allowing a maximum duration to 1 November 2034. Award decisions were due by 30 October 2026. Quality carries 90% and price 10%, based on day and out-of-hours rates.

This suits construction, building-services, maintenance and specialist-trade contractors able to deliver one or more defined workstreams and cover the relevant geographical areas. Bidders need the labour, supervision, materials, plant, tools, access equipment, temporary works, testing, certification, site management and welfare arrangements relevant to their lot. Strong fits include general builders; mechanical, plumbing and electrical contractors; civil, drainage, roofing, flooring, decorating, glazing, steel, fire-safety, locksmith and access-control specialists; and IT infrastructure installers. The framework is suitable for SMEs, but suppliers must demonstrate the technical capability set out for their chosen lots and have sufficient capacity for planned, reactive, urgent and, where relevant, 24/7 call-out work across operational estates.
