In plain English
University of Wolverhampton is looking for one electrical and data installation contractor to handle all their maintenance, repairs, upgrades and capital projects. Work is capped at £150k per project, with an estimated annual spend of £1.5 to £2 million across multiple projects.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out planned, reactive and cyclical maintenance on electrical and data systems • Complete initial surveys, set up asset lists and manage preventative maintenance schedules • Handle call-outs for emergency repairs and breakdowns • Undertake minor electrical upgrades, replacements and capital projects (up to £150k per project) • Record all work and upload reports to the university's Planon CAFM system
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small electrical firms will struggle with this contract because the university reserves the right to hand any project over £150k to a different contractor, meaning you cannot rely on ongoing revenue and will need significant capacity and resources to respond to unpredictable call-outs and CAFM reporting demands.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
