Published requirement description

Star Academies are looking to run an FTS (EU) compliant framework tender to appoint up to four suitable suppliers across each lot (region). The suppliers selected will be able to provide a complete gas and pressure systems management service across each lot (region). Whilst the tender will be used as a basis for future works and pricing, the Trust are looking to engage suppliers who will work collaboratively with us and tailor their approach, so that they are able to meet the specific needs of the Trust’s portfolio of assets. This procurement also seeks to ensure that value for money is achieved for the Trust and that the Trust’s gas and pressure systems management is run in an efficient and consistent way across our entire estate.

The framework will run for a period of four years and successful tenderers will remain on the contract for this period subject to performance and company stability (i.e. the company not going into administration).
