UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for the 'Informatics Room Cooling Project - Lead Designer' to RSP Consulting Engineers LLP. The project involves upgrading the server room cooling system, with a construction completion date set for the end of June 2024. The procurement method used was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the urgent deadline was caused by delayed research, and RSP was the only supplier able to meet the technical requirements within the required timescale.

This tender opportunity by the University of Edinburgh offers a chance for businesses specializing in engineering and consultancy services to contribute to critical infrastructure projects. Companies with experience in designing cooling systems or managing construction projects could excel in this competitive environment. The project's focus on an urgent technical requirement with a fixed completion deadline creates a niche opportunity for suppliers who can deliver high-quality solutions promptly.
