## Summary

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David Group, together with Coleg Sir Gar, Pembrokeshire College and Coleg Ceredigion, is procuring a multi-supplier framework for property-related minor works, reactive maintenance and specialist trade services across its estate. The 14 lots cover general building, mechanical and plumbing, electrical, civil engineering, IT infrastructure, roofing, glazing and doors, flooring, drainage, painting and decorating, structural steel and welding, fire compartmentation, 24/7 plumbing and emergency repairs, and locksmith and electronic access-control systems. Work may include planned maintenance, refurbishment, statutory compliance, lifecycle replacement, alterations, urgent repairs and out-of-hours attendance. Delivery areas vary by lot and include Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, London and Birmingham, across occupied and unoccupied educational, residential, office, specialist and external premises.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited offers through an open procedure for an open framework agreement. Suppliers may bid for one or more lots, with each lot evaluated separately. Enquiries were due by noon on 29 September 2026, and tenders by noon on 6 October 2026; submissions are electronic and may be in English or Welsh. The award decision was due by 30 October 2026. The framework is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2030, with an option to extend to 1 November 2034. Its estimated value is £23,000,000 excluding VAT (£27,600,000 including VAT). Quality carries 90% and price 10%, based on day rates and out-of-hours rates. Up to 84 suppliers may join.

This opportunity suits specialist contractors and multi-trade building firms able to deliver minor works and maintenance in live education and operational environments. Bidders can target individual trades and geographical areas rather than the whole requirement, and the framework is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Relevant capability may include managing labour, supervision, materials, plant, access equipment, temporary works, testing, certification, site welfare and safe phasing. Depending on the lot, suppliers may need expertise in building, mechanical and plumbing systems, electrical installations, civil engineering, IT infrastructure, roofing, glazing, flooring, drainage, decorating, steel fabrication, passive fire safety, emergency plumbing, locksmithing or access-control programming. Strong quality evidence, responsive mobilisation and capacity for planned, reactive, urgent and out-of-hours work will be important.
