## Summary

The Newcastle University is seeking maintenance and repair services for its existing Legacy Building Management System (BMS) located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The procurement, identified as (NU/1686), falls under the energy-management services category and is currently at the award stage. The contract was awarded on 17 May 2021, with a contract period running from 18 May 2021 to 17 May 2025. The total contract value is £300,000, with a minimum value of £150,000, and interested suppliers should have taken note of the tender deadline which passed on 15 May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy management and systems maintenance, particularly for those looking to establish long-term relationships with educational institutions. Companies that are adept at maintaining complex systems and have prior experience with similar legacy systems, especially those provided by Schneider Electric, may find this tender especially advantageous. Small and medium-sized enterprises would also be suited to compete for this contract, given the stated suitability for SMEs in the tender documentation.

## Notice

The University has an existing BMS system with specific integration requirements, located at the Medical School site. This links to a system within the adjoining RVI Hospital. This legacy system incorporates a solution provided by Schneider Electric. The University intends to contract the maintenance and repair and some upgrades of this system to Schneider Electric in order to maintain the integrity of the system. Any fundamental changes to the system at this point would be uneconomical and technically complicated, therefore the award is made under Article 32 3(b). A change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
