Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde awarded a service contract for electric motor maintenance and associated services. The work covers maintaining and servicing the University's electric motors and related equipment, including electrical and mechanical services, motor installation support and associated engineering activities. The main classification is CPV 50532100, repair and maintenance services of electric motors. Delivery is at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The buyer is the University of Strathclyde, an education-sector public body and central purchasing organisation. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. The arrangement is intended to support the University's operational facilities through planned and responsive maintenance of its electric motor assets and related systems.

The procurement has been completed: the contract was awarded to R W Scotland Ltd and is active. The award decision date was 8 June 2026 and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The contract value is £150,737. It was run as a single-lot open procedure, evaluated against economic and technical selection requirements. The initial contract period is 24 months, with options to extend for up to two further 12-month periods at the University's discretion; the recorded maximum period is 1,440 days. Bids closed at noon on 8 June 2026, and two electronic bids were received, both from SMEs. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Variants were not permitted.

This award indicates a recurring requirement for specialist electric motor maintenance within a university environment, combining electrical and mechanical engineering capability with safe access and inspection work. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable qualifications or accepted equivalents covering NICEIC, the Electrical Safety Register, PASMA, IPAF and the Association of Electrical & Mechanical Trades. It would also need suitable quality assurance and environmental management arrangements, supported by documented evidence. The buyer expects established commercial capacity, relevant technical competence and the ability to manage work safely across its facilities. Suppliers should be able to provide planned and responsive maintenance, coordinate associated services and work within a structured public-sector contract, including electronic ordering and payment.
