UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge, is seeking mechanical and electrical services for its facilities in Cambridge. The scope covers installation, repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical building systems, including electrical equipment and installations, heating equipment and hot-water boilers. The work is managed on the College’s behalf by SSC Partnership. The services are intended for the College’s site at Mount Pleasant, Cambridge. Suppliers with building-services engineering and maintenance capability across both mechanical and electrical systems are the most directly relevant. The requirement is a single package covering the College’s mechanical and electrical services rather than separate service lots.

The buyer invited bids through an open procedure, under which interested organisations or consortia could submit offers. Bids were required to include both the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and the completed tender response. The submission deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12 noon; the planned site visit was 12 October 2026 at 9am and was optional. The contract is for an initial 36 months from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to a further 24 months, giving a maximum term of five years. Evaluation weights are quality 40%, social value 30% and price 30%.

This is relevant to suppliers able to provide ongoing mechanical and electrical building services, including installation, repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems and related heating and hot-water equipment. Bidders should be able to demonstrate technical ability and quality, as these account for the largest share of the evaluation, and to present a credible social-value offer as well as competitive pricing. The combination of mechanical and electrical work suits firms with integrated building-services capability or consortia able to cover both disciplines. The multi-year term may suit a provider with capacity to support facilities at a college site over an extended period. The optional site visit offered an opportunity to inspect the existing facilities and understand the layout before preparing a bid.
