OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews is procuring services to maintain and support water purification units across its estate. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, compliance support and management of consumables for systems supplying purified and de-ionised water. These systems support teaching, research and operational activities, with continuity of service, water quality, health and safety compliance and asset reliability identified as important outcomes. The work is delivered in St Andrews, with approximately 25 assets of different types located in laboratories across various buildings on the North Haugh. This is a specialist estates, laboratory equipment maintenance and compliance requirement, suited to contractors able to service water purification systems and manage associated consumables.

The process has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission through its e-tendering system. The tender deadline is 5 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids are also scheduled to be opened; the evaluation period starts at that time. The contract period is 720 days, with up to two possible 12-month renewals subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. Bids must be submitted in English and remain valid for 90 days. Variants are not allowed. A fee applies for access to documents. Participation is assessed against suitability criteria, with full requirements in the tender documents. Electronic payment and ordering are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits a contractor with practical experience maintaining water purification units, including planned servicing, fault response, water quality assurance and consumables management. Suppliers should be able to support a mixed asset base of around 25 units installed in laboratory environments and work across several buildings at the North Haugh. The requirement will favour businesses that can maintain service continuity, diagnose and resolve reactive faults, and provide evidence of effective health and safety and regulatory compliance. Contractors should also be prepared to identify the staff who will deliver the service, as the tender asks for staff names and relevant information. Capability to manage planned and emergency work in teaching, research and operational settings is important.
