## Summary

The University of St Andrews is seeking a contractor to service and maintain water purification units across its estate. The work covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, compliance support and management of consumables. The units provide purified and de-ionised water for teaching, research and operational activities, so the requirement focuses on continuity of service, water quality assurance, health and safety compliance and reliable equipment. The procurement is for repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment (CPV 50400000). The requirement covers approximately 25 assets of different types, all located in laboratories in various buildings on the North Haugh in St Andrews. The University of St Andrews is both the buyer and the organisation managing the requirement.

The process has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted electronically in English by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The bid opening and start of the award period are scheduled for the same date and time. The contract is for 720 days, with two possible 12-month renewals subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Variants are not allowed. A document access fee applies. The selection and evaluation requirements are set out in the tender documents, including economic and technical criteria; supplier suitability criteria also apply. Electronic ordering and payment are used, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits a specialist maintenance contractor with practical experience servicing water purification equipment in laboratory or comparable technical environments. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver preventative maintenance, respond to breakdowns, manage replacement consumables and support compliance obligations. The requirement calls for dependable asset management across multiple buildings and equipment types, with enough field capacity to maintain continuity for teaching, research and operational users. Contractors should be able to assure water quality, maintain health and safety standards, diagnose faults and keep accurate service records. The buyer also asks tenderers to identify certain staff who would be involved in contract delivery, so bidders should have an established delivery team with relevant technical qualifications and clearly defined responsibilities.
