In plain English
The University of Dundee is looking for a Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) design consultant to help with building projects over the next five years. The consultant will provide design drawings, specifications, and project support from start to finish, ensuring work meets building standards and represents good value for money.
What the buyer wants
• Produce detailed M&E design drawings and technical specifications ready for construction tender documents • Support projects through all RIBA stages (from initial concept through to practical completion) • Ensure designs comply with building regulations, procurement rules, and the University's estate strategy • Advise on value for money and cost control throughout the project lifecycle
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small M&E design practices will struggle: this is a five-year framework contract worth £900,000 targeting institutional-scale projects, which typically requires proven experience on large building projects, professional indemnity insurance (costly for small firms), and the ability to resource multiple concurrent projects. Solo practitioners or very small teams are unlikely to win.
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.
