Summary of the contracting process

Robert Gordon University appointed a facilities management consultancy to support its future facilities management service delivery strategy. The work covers professional advisory, technical and procurement support, including helping the university plan and procure future FM services. This is a professional services requirement delivered for the university in Aberdeen. The procurement is classified as facilities management consultancy services (CPV 71315210), with the related service classification covering facilities management consultancy (CPV 79993100). It is suited to consultancies that advise public-sector organisations on FM strategy, service design, technical requirements and procurement, particularly where they can support the transition to future outsourced or revised facilities management arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed single-lot open procedure. The submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award process began on the same date. The contract was awarded to The Litmus Partnership Limited on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £98,140. The planned contract period is 720 days, with a possible extension of up to 24 months if required to assist mobilisation of a new contract. Seven electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Selection required evidence of Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management membership, or an equivalent, and comparable higher education experience for both the organisation and proposed project team. Staff names and qualifications were also required.

This award shows that Robert Gordon University purchases specialist FM consultancy to shape future service delivery and support procurement and mobilisation. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to provide credible FM strategy advice alongside technical and procurement expertise, rather than only operational facilities management services. The requirement particularly favours firms with demonstrable higher education experience at both organisational and project-team level, including evidence from comparable institutions and named suitably qualified staff. Membership of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management, or an equivalent professional body, is an important credibility requirement. The seven SME bids indicate that the opportunity can be pursued by specialist consultancies with focused sector expertise, provided they can demonstrate relevant delivery experience and a capable proposed team.
