Summary of the contracting process

TEC Partnership is seeking mechanical and electrical contractors to refurbish, replace, repair, test and commission ventilation systems, air handling units (AHUs) and local exhaust ventilation (LEV), together with associated infrastructure. The work supports the Partnership’s education and training estate, which includes Grimsby Institute, University Centre Grimsby, Scarborough TEC, East Riding College, Skegness College, National Employer Training, Transafe Training, The Academy Grimsby and Little Star Nursery. Delivery is across multiple TEC Partnership sites. The procurement is for ventilation installation and refurbishment works (CPV 45331200), rather than a supply-only equipment contract.

TEC Partnership invited tenders through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The process reached the tender stage, with offers invited. The buyer set 23 October 2026 at 12:00 for enquiries and 30 October 2026 at 12:00 for submissions. The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2027. The estimated gross procurement value is £300,000. Evaluation allocates 40% to price, 40% to successful project delivery and the method statement, and 20% to relevant experience and examples. The opportunity is structured as one lot. Electronic submission is permitted.

This requirement is suited to established mechanical and electrical contractors with relevant experience in ventilation refurbishment and replacement, AHU and LEV systems, and associated infrastructure. Suppliers need the technical capability to carry out repairs as well as testing and commissioning, and to demonstrate how they would deliver the work successfully across multiple sites. Evidence of comparable projects and relevant examples will contribute to the evaluation, alongside a project delivery approach and price. The breadth of the TEC Partnership estate makes this relevant to firms able to plan and execute work across an education and training portfolio, including colleges, specialist training providers, a school and a nursery.
