## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is planning a procurement process for the comprehensive maintenance, replacement, and upgrade of its Trend building energy management system (BEMS). The initiative, categorised under the education sector, aims to engage a single supplier for both planned and reactive maintenance services across its estate, which includes approximately 50 sites in the region UKM75 (Edinburgh). This process is currently at the planning stage as of 22 June 2026, with an anticipated tender release planned for early August 2026. The procurement follows the open procedure method and covers services with an estimated total contract value of £2,500,000 over six years, including £1,000,000 for maintenance services and £1,500,000 for upgrade works. The contract is foreseen for an initial term of two years, extendable for up to four additional years.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in building energy management systems, especially those with accredited Trend Expert Engineers. Companies capable of demonstrating technical competence and possessing relevant certifications will be well-positioned to compete. The flexible contract terms allow for potential business growth through additional work orders, although the University reserves discretion on the volume of business. SMEs specialising in control system upgrades, maintenance, and commissioning will likely find this an attractive opportunity to engage with a prestigious educational institution and expand their footprint in the academic sector.
