Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Stirling is seeking a contractor to maintain commercial and domestic boilers and associated equipment. The work covers boiler maintenance and repair services at Stirling. The contractor must respond to reported breakdowns and emergencies: extreme emergencies, such as total boiler failure or gas interruption, require attendance within one hour where possible and no later than two hours; serious failures that could affect university operations if left overnight require attendance the same working day; all other reported failures require attendance within 24 hours. These response requirements are a significant part of the service, because failures can disrupt university facilities. The University may use another provider where necessary and charge the contractor where appropriate. The contractor will also be encouraged to provide community benefits, such as apprenticeships, work experience, placements and local engagement.

The University invited offers through an open procedure, and bids were to be submitted electronically. The submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the evaluation period was due to start at that time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend by up to 24 months. The procurement is a single lot and does not allow variant bids. Bidders must provide general yearly turnover for each of their three most recent financial years and evidence of professional indemnity, employers’ liability and public liability insurance, each with minimum cover of £5 million. Response times are contract requirements, and failure to meet them could lead to termination. The University may call on other providers and charge the contractor where appropriate.

This requirement is suited to a boiler maintenance and repair contractor with experience servicing both commercial and domestic boilers and associated equipment. Suppliers need the operational capacity to respond rapidly to severe breakdowns and gas interruptions, attend serious failures the same working day, and handle other reported faults within 24 hours. The work will suit firms able to provide reliable coverage in Stirling and manage emergency call-outs alongside routine maintenance. Bidders must be able to demonstrate turnover across the three most recent financial years and hold at least £5 million of professional indemnity, employers’ liability and public liability insurance. Contractors should also be prepared to support community benefits, potentially through trade or modern apprenticeships, work experience, placements or secondments, and engagement with local communities such as school visits.
