Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has initiated a procurement process to secure accommodation services and hard facilities management for its estate, particularly focusing on student residential buildings in areas such as Gilmorehill and Hillhead. This tender, with the identifier PURCH2790, falls under the services category and is managed through a competitive procedure with negotiation. The project is based in Glasgow and involves maintaining and repairing facilities, some of which are heritage-listed buildings requiring specialised care. The procurement process is currently at the tender update stage, with a revised deadline for submissions set for 27th October 2025. Interested parties should submit their responses electronically via Public Contracts Scotland, and the contract term is set for three years, with options for extension.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies within the facilities management sector, especially those experienced in heritage building maintenance and compliance. Firms with robust public liability, employer's liability, and professional indemnity insurance of at least £10 million, along with a minimum yearly turnover of £3 million, will likely be well-suited and competitive candidates. The contract also places importance on providers who align with the University’s values in community engagement and sustainability. This alignment includes contributions such as offering apprenticeship and training opportunities and adhering to the Living Wage initiative, thus presenting opportunities for firms dedicated to corporate social responsibility and community benefits.
