## Summary

The University of Dundee seeks a mechanical and electrical (M&E) design consultancy to support its Estates and Campus Services Department across capital, refurbishment and maintenance projects. The consultant will prepare designs and specifications suitable for tender documents and support projects from initiation through completion, including conservation work, compliance upgrades, space reconfiguration and strategic estate development. The University’s diverse estate includes academic and teaching buildings, research laboratories, libraries, student residences, heritage properties and commercial premises. Work is delivered across the University’s estate in Dundee; some projects will take place in or interface with NHS-controlled premises, where NHS standards, procedures and approval processes apply. The services include engineering design and associated technical and project support.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is at tender stage. The single lot covers the consultancy services, with no guaranteed workload or minimum spend. The estimated value is £900,000. The contract period is an initial three years, with two possible one-year extensions, giving a stated maximum duration of five years. Bids were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The evaluation gives 40% weight to quality and 60% to price. The tender documents set out supplier suitability and economic and technical selection criteria. Bids must be in English; variants are not allowed. The stated bid validity period ends on 30 March 2027. The contract supports a programme of University estate projects, with no recurrence indicated.

This opportunity is best suited to an established M&E design consultancy able to provide suitably qualified and experienced building-services engineers, produce comprehensive design and specification packages, and support projects throughout all RIBA work stages. Suppliers should be able to work across a varied estate, from teaching and research facilities to residences, commercial spaces and listed or historic buildings. Capability in capital projects, refurbishment, conservation, compliance upgrades and space reconfiguration is relevant, alongside the capacity to support multiple projects over a term contract. Firms should be prepared to address statutory and procurement requirements, safety, value for money and whole-life cost efficiency, as well as the University’s net-zero carbon ambitions and space-use objectives. Experience of working within NHS premises or complying with NHS standards, procedures and approvals would be relevant for projects that interface with those sites. The tender requires staff names and qualifications.
