Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews is procuring planned preventative and reactive maintenance, compliance support and consumables management for water purification units. The systems provide purified, including de-ionised, water for teaching, research and operational activities, where continuity of service, water quality, health and safety compliance and equipment reliability are important. The requirement covers about 25 units of different types, located in laboratories across several buildings on the North Haugh in St Andrews. This is specialist maintenance and support for laboratory water-purification equipment, rather than a supply-only purchase. The University is the buyer and the work is delivered at its St Andrews estate.

The University invited offers through an open procedure, and the tender deadline was extended to 12 October 2026 at 12:00. Offers are submitted electronically through the University’s InTend system; the tender documents set out the detailed requirements. The contract is for 720 days, with the possibility of two further 12-month extensions, subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The notice gives no overall contract value. Selection covers supplier suitability, with full criteria in the tender documents; the published information does not state a separate award-scoring basis. Variants are not allowed. The tender documents also request the names of certain staff proposed for contract delivery.

This opportunity is suited to specialist contractors able to maintain and repair different types of water-purification equipment used in laboratories. Suppliers need to demonstrate that they can provide planned preventative maintenance and respond to faults, while managing associated consumables and supporting compliance, water quality assurance and safe operation. The work spans roughly 25 assets across multiple laboratory buildings, so bidders should be able to coordinate service visits and reactive support across a university estate. The requirement places particular weight on dependable continuity and asset reliability in teaching, research and operational settings. The procurement asks bidders to identify certain staff who would deliver the contract, making it relevant to firms able to commit named personnel. No specific accreditation or technical certification is identified in the published criteria.
