Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews procured a managed maintenance service for its campus Building Management System (BMS), including 24/7/365 on-call reactive support. The system is a Siemens Desigo CC installation with a distributed architecture managed in the university’s data centre. It includes a management server, two distributed servers and two front-end processors, covering more than 34,000 system points across over 100 sites. This is a specialist building-services and facilities-management requirement, classified under CPV 71631300 (building-inspection services). Delivery is across the University of St Andrews campus in St Andrews. The buyer sought a close working relationship with a specialist BMS maintenance provider and required Siemens Approved Partner status.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One lot covered the full BMS maintenance requirement. Five electronic bids were received, including two from SMEs. The submission deadline and bid opening were 17 July 2026 at 12:00, with bids required to remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation used quality and price criteria: 47 quality requirements and 20 price points. TESGL Ltd trading as SSE Energy Solutions was selected, and the contract was signed on 7 September 2026 for £285,276. The contract period is 1,080 days, with two possible 12-month renewals subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. English was the submission language and variants were not allowed.

This requirement shows sustained demand from the University of St Andrews for specialist support of a large, distributed Siemens Desigo CC estate spanning more than 100 sites and over 34,000 points. A credible future competitor would need to be a Siemens Approved Partner with the technical capability to maintain this platform across complex campus infrastructure, provide continuous 24/7/365 reactive cover and support both central servers and distributed building systems. The buyer also sought a close, collaborative relationship rather than purely ad hoc call-outs, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable service management, responsive fault resolution and sufficient engineering capacity. Experience delivering comparable BMS maintenance across multi-site estates, with appropriately qualified delivery staff, would be relevant to a future requirement from this buyer.
