Summary of the contracting process

The University of Stirling has completed a procurement process for a Framework Agreement aimed at appointing a Multi-Trade Principal Contractor for minor works projects and maintenance services. With a focus on the education sector, the contract entails a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, primarily covering works within Stirling, UK. The procurement process began in January 2025, following a call for tenders, and the contract was awarded in June 2025, marking the end of this procurement cycle. Marshall Construction Limited emerged as the successful supplier under this framework valued at £8,000,000, effective from 23 June 2025, for a duration spanning up to four years, contingent on a one-year extension option.

This procurement offers a significant business opportunity, especially for companies experienced in building maintenance and refurbishment. The contract encourages small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), evidenced by Marshall Construction's involvement, a company fitting the SME profile. Businesses skilled in delivering comprehensive maintenance services and capable of reactive, planned maintenance, and minor refurbishment projects will find this tender a lucrative platform for growth. Additionally, firms that can provide supplementary staffing, including semi-skilled labour, during peak seasons, will be well-suited to fulfil the requirements outlined by the University of Stirling. These opportunities highlight a concerted effort towards supporting community benefits and the local economy in the Stirling area.
