## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed the award stage of its tender process for an Electrical Works and Associated Services Framework Agreement. This process, initiated using an open procedure, aimed at appointing suppliers to a framework agreement covering reactive maintenance, planned small works, and associated services across the University's estate in Edinburgh, UKM75 region. Managed under the SBCC Framework Agreement for Scotland, the initial contract period spans from 13 April 2026 to 12 April 2028, with provisions for two additional one-year extensions, potentially extending until 12 April 2030. The contract value totals approximately £21,336,497.70 over a forecasted four-year spend. The procurement was divided into two lots: Science & Engineering and Medical & Veterinary Sciences (Lot 1) and Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, ACE, and Professional Services (Lot 2), each aimed to ensure quality service provision within the institutional premises.

The framework provides significant opportunities for businesses within the electrical works sector to engage with a prestigious institution like the University of Edinburgh, offering services to over 550 buildings. It includes bids from large and SME suppliers such as OCS Technical Services Limited, JGM - John G Mackintosh, CBES Limited, and Taylor and Fraser, indicating scope for diversified business participation. The evaluation criteria heavily weigh on quality (70%) and price (30%), encouraging competitive offerings. The framework is designed to balance dependencies on suppliers by restricting any supplier to a maximum ranking of first place in one lot. Businesses with experience in similar services and possessing the required certifications stand a good chance in this competitive process, fostering growth through engagement with one of Scotland's prominent universities.

  Electrical Works and Associated Services Framework Agreement - The University of Edinburgh will shortly be going out to tender via an Open Procedure to appoint suppliers to a Framework Agreement (incorporating a Measured Term Contract) for the provision of Electrical Works and Associated Services to service the University of Edinburgh's Estate of approximately 550 varied buildings in Edinburgh and Midlothian, including all buildings and other property owned, occupied or otherwise used by the University of Edinburgh. The Framework is tendered on behalf of the University of Edinburgh and all University of Edinburgh Subsidiary Companies. Any and all of the University of Edinburgh's Subsidiary Companies may access and utilise this Framework at any time during the life of the agreement. The framework agreement will operate under the SBCC Framework Agreement for use in Scotland (FA/Scot) 2014 Edition and all call-offs/contracts awarded under the framework will operate under the SBCC Measured Term Contract for use in Scotland (MTC/Scot) 2019 Edition, or, the NEC 4 Contract (where applicable).

As required under CDM 2015, the Provider(s) is responsible for the co-ordination, supervision and administration of the Works, including all sub contracts. The Provider shall arrange and monitor a programme with each sub-contractor, supplier, local authority and statutory undertaker, and obtain and supply information as necessary for the co-ordination of the work. For the purposes of this Framework Agreement the University of Edinburgh estate will be divided into two areas or Lots outlined below. Lot 1 - Science & Engineering (Kings Buildings) and Medical & Veterinary Sciences Lot 2 - Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Accommodation, Catering and Events (ACE) and Professional Services. Suppliers will be allowed to bid for any number of Lots and may be awarded onto one or both Lots, however, to reduce dependency on the first ranked supplier, a supplier may only be ranked first in one of the Lots and consideration will be given to the supplier's Lot preference. The four (4) highest scoring suppliers will be invited on to each of the Lots. The service requirements are the same in each Lot and both Lots will have the same quality and price questions and weightings. In the event a supplier is ranked first in both Lots, consideration will be given to the first ranked supplier's preferred Lot. The second ranked supplier in the remaining Lot will be allocated first ranking. The Framework Agreement will be in place for an initial term of 2 years, with two options to extend for periods of 1-year each (2+1+1). The estimated total contract value is based on forecast spend across both Lots over a 4 year period.
