Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh appointed a quantity surveyor to support the operation of its EC0996 Building Fabric Maintenance and Small Works MTC Framework Agreement. The work covers quantity surveying services associated with building fabric maintenance and small works delivered for the University in Edinburgh. It supports the administration and operation of an existing maintenance and small works framework rather than the construction works themselves. The buyer is the University of Edinburgh, acting as a public-sector education organisation and central purchasing body. This requirement is suited to quantity surveying practices with experience of advising on building maintenance, small works and framework-based delivery for institutional or public-sector clients.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Thomson Gray was awarded the contract following one bid, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and is valued at £200,000. The initial contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2027, with two optional one-year extensions that could extend the term to 14 July 2029. Although the original framework was established through an open procedure, this call-off was made by direct award under the University of Edinburgh’s EC0975 Quantity Surveying Framework Agreement. The published award states that the evaluation weightings relate to the original framework tender.

For a quantity surveying business, this award demonstrates recurring demand from the University of Edinburgh for professional support around building fabric maintenance and small works. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist practice rather than only a large multidisciplinary organisation. A credible future competitor would need quantity surveying capability, experience of maintenance and minor works programmes, and the capacity to support the operation of a public-sector framework across an active university estate. Familiarity with call-off arrangements, cost control, works measurement, commercial advice and client-side reporting would help a supplier demonstrate relevance when this type of requirement next comes to market.
