In plain English
Bedford College needs a mechanical and electrical (M&E) services contractor to provide full support across all their college projects. The contract covers projects up to £5m in value, with some larger projects potentially included on a case-by-case basis.
What the buyer wants
• Provide mechanical and electrical design, installation, and support services across multiple college projects • Handle M&E work on projects valued up to £5m as standard • Be flexible to work on selected larger projects (above £5m) and smaller projects (below £5m) as determined by the College on a project-by-project basis
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small one-person or two-person M&E businesses will struggle because this is a framework contract requiring capacity to handle multiple simultaneous college projects up to £5m each, plus the College's discretion to assign work as they wish. You need proven experience, significant insurance, and the ability to resource large projects.
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.
