Main reasons for the decision not to sub-divide the contract into lots: Given the need for one Service Provider to co-ordinate the delivery of all of the services required, the contract has not been subdivided into lots.

The contract will run for a period of three years from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2028 with options to extend for two further periods of one year each until 31st July 2030.

The decision of whether to take up the extension options will be down to the absolute discretion of the University.

The estimated total value of the contract over the 3+1+1 years contract period is £1 million excluding VAT.

In order to assist Tenderers in preparing their tender submission, the University will be holding a collective site visit with all potential Tenderers on Wednesday 14th May 2025 to allow Tenderers to get an appreciation of the size and scale of the campus.

It is a mandatory requirement that all Tenderers attend the site visit.

Tenderers should note that the University is not in a position to offer any alternative dates.

The site visit is not part of the scoring assessment and is offered to Tenderers by way of informing their Tender responses only.
