In plain English

The University of Leicester is looking for a contractor to service and repair its automatic doors, covering both scheduled preventative checks and emergency call-outs when doors break down. Revolving doors and the access control system are excluded from the scope and are handled separately. The estimated value is £416,000.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance on the automatic doors, with the first round completed by 30 April 2027 and further rounds in September and March each year. • Provide a year-round call-out service, available 24 hours a day, with a maximum response time of 24 hours, during and outside normal working hours. • Be fully mobilised in time to complete all April 2027 servicing by 30 April 2027, working to the specification in Schedule 5.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The requirement for a 24-hour, year-round call-out service with a maximum 24-hour response time, combined with a contract value of £416,000 and a fixed start date for mobilisation, is likely to rule out smaller businesses that cannot staff round-the-clock cover or mobilise quickly.
