## Summary

Bedford College is seeking mechanical and electrical (M&E) services to support its construction and other college projects. The requirement covers full M&E support, including engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations in buildings (CPV 71321000). The appointed supplier will work on projects valued up to £5 million; selected projects above that level may also be included, depending on the College’s needs and assessment of each job. The College may also choose to exclude projects below £5 million. Delivery is for Bedford College projects in the United Kingdom.

The College invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period was set from 1 December 2026 to 2 December 2030. The estimated value is £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Bids are evaluated equally on quality and price, each weighted at 50%. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits mechanical and electrical engineering and building-services firms able to provide full M&E support across college projects. Relevant capability includes designing mechanical and electrical installations for buildings and supporting projects of varied values, with the capacity to take on selected larger projects when required. The work may suit SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and firms whose business combines engineering design with practical project support. The stated evaluation gives quality equal weight to price, so suppliers should be equipped to demonstrate the quality of their proposed service as well as competitive pricing. The College’s project-by-project discretion means suppliers should be able to respond to differing project requirements.

## Notice

Bedford College is seeking an efficient, high quality mechanical and electrical service to provide full M&E support on all College projects at values up to PS5m. Selected projects above this value will also utilise the appointed supplier - this will be subject to College requirements and be assessed on a job-by-job basis. Similarly, there may be projects below PS5m which will not form part of this contract, at the discretion of the College.
