The service covers boiler breakdowns and emergencies as well as other reported failures, with response requirements varying by severity. Extreme emergencies include total boiler failure causing loss of heating and gas interruptions; serious failures are those that could affect University operations if left overnight. The work is a boiler maintenance service (CPV 50531100). The University is the buyer and the service is delivered at its Stirling facilities. The requirement also encourages community benefits, such as trade or modern apprenticeships, work experience, placements or secondments, and engagement with local schools. The contractor may be charged for the cost of others called in if response requirements are not met. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the deadline set for 27 November 2026 at 12 noon; bids were due to be opened at the same time. The planned contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend by up to 24 months. The buyer expects the requirement to recur around 2.5 or 3.5 years after the contract starts, depending on whether the extension is used. There is one lot, and variant bids are not allowed. The selection requirements include providing general turnover for each of the previous three financial years, plus evidence of professional indemnity, employer’s liability and public liability insurance, each with minimum cover of £5 million. No award weighting is set out in the supplied procurement details. This opportunity suits a mechanical or building-services contractor with the workforce and technical capability to maintain both commercial and domestic boilers and associated equipment at a university site. Suppliers must be able to respond rapidly and reliably: extreme emergencies require attendance within one hour where possible and no later than two hours; serious failures require attendance on the same working day, and other reported failures within 24 hours. These response standards are contract-critical, and missed response times may lead to termination; the University can also use another provider and charge the appointed contractor where appropriate. Bidders need a credible financial track record, including turnover information for the last three financial years, and the required £5 million insurance cover in each of the three specified classes. Contractors able to provide apprenticeships, work experience or other local community engagement may also be well placed. ## Notice The University of Stirling is seeking a contractor for the maintenance services of commercial and domestic boilers and associated equipment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Stirling is seeking a contractor for the maintenance services of commercial and domestic boilers and associated equipment.
