Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University of Edinburgh involves the "Steam Generators Maintenance" contract aimed at comprehensive servicing, maintenance, and reactive works for the University's steam generators across campus buildings. With its industry category being education, as denoted by COFOG, this service-focused contract falls under the jurisdiction of the UKM75 region, specifically in Edinburgh. The procurement stage is classified as 'award', having reached completion with the contract being active as of 9th October 2024. The buying organisation followed a limited procurement method due to a lack of competition for technical reasons, relying on Certuss (UK) LTD as the sole supplier to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, in line with the University's Engineering Guidelines.

This tender presents a growth opportunity primarily for businesses specialising in servicing and maintaining technical equipment, particularly those familiar with the specific components and standards required for educational institutions. While it generally encompasses service providers skilled in managing high-tech machinery, the contract's specification that only the OEM parts are acceptable limits direct competition. Businesses with technical partnerships or authorised reseller status with Certuss will find themselves particularly well-positioned to leverage this contract. The value of the signed contract is £163,692.11, signalling a substantial investment in ensuring the functionality and reliability of the University's steam generators.
