This contract aims to ensure the maintenance of all relevant assets, adhering to statutory and manufacturer requirements. The tender is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for bid submissions set for 18th April 2019 at 11:00am. The total contract value amounts to £1,743,000, and the services are to be delivered at a location specified by the postal code CB2 0QH. The procurement is being conducted through an open procedure due to its value exceeding the threshold for public contracts. This opportunity offers significant potential for businesses involved in mechanical services, particularly those with experience in maintaining complex scientific facilities and emergency response capabilities. Companies that can provide robust maintenance solutions and ensure business continuity, especially with the requirement for 24/7 response, would be especially well-suited to compete. This contract not only supports immediate employment and service delivery but also contributes to the long-term success and reputation of businesses within the mechanical installations sector. ## Notice ***The procurement procedure did not result in a contract award as no suitable offers were made.*** The final date and time for the submission of bids is Thursday 18th April 2019 at 11:00am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement Scope of Service for the Special Mechanical Services Contract - LMB & ARES The Special Mechanical Services Bundle maintenance service shall ensure that all maintainable assets, including software, non-fixed plant and equipment within the various premises (identified from the asset list [see section 3 below] and supplemented where necessary by an initial site survey), are maintained to the required 'fit for function' performance level, meeting the manufacturer's and installer's recommendations (whilst taking account of any supplementary servicing needs that arise from the as-built environment) and to ensure strict compliance with all statutory/legal and mandatory obligations. Business continuity is imperative as numerous key scientific areas require 24/7 response within 4 hours to FM problems as failures of scientific experiments can put weeks / months of research in jeopardy.
