Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee, located at Procurement, 3rd Floor, Tower Building, Nethergate, Dundee, acted as the buying organisation for the procurement titled "TCIH Geo-Exchange system." This procurement falls within the "Education" industry category and relates to the maintenance and care package for Geo-Exchange System Heat Pumps (GSHP), with services including the Internal Heat Recovery Loop and bore hole elements. The procurement process reached the Award stage, with the contractor BMD Renewables, an SME based in Ayr, chosen for the project. The contract, valued at £400,000, was signed on 28th May 2025 and pertains to services delivered to Dundee (UKM71). The procurement method was 'limited,' bypassing prior publication due to technical reasons necessary to match existing infrastructure.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant business growth potential for firms specialising in renewable energy systems and maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in GSHP and heat recovery systems. SMEs and local enterprises like electrical, plumbing, and environmental engineering firms could find competitive advantages in similar tenders due to the technical specificity and regional focus that often accompany these contracts. Winning such tenders enhances business portfolios with prestigious educational institutions like the University of Dundee, promoting wider recognition and opening doors to further opportunities in the public sector across similar technical fields.
