The brief

The London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC), acting on behalf of the UK Universities Purchasing Consortia (UKUPC), is establishing a Framework Agreement for Maintenance Services.

The Framework will provide Participating Institutions with access to suppliers capable of delivering a broad range of building maintenance services to support the safe, efficient and compliant operation of buildings and estates.

Services may be required on a planned, reactive or project basis and include building fabric maintenance, mechanical, electrical and plumbing/public health (MEP) maintenance, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs, and associated maintenance activities.

The Framework will also include grounds and external maintenance services and the delivery of minor works projects under the relevant Lot.

The Framework is divided into two Lots: Lot 1 – Maintenance and Associated Works Lot 2 – MEP Maintenance Each Lot is further divided into regional panels to support local service delivery and provide nationwide coverage.

The regions are: Scotland; North West England; North East & Yorkshire; Midlands; Wales; South West England; London (Greater London); East of England; South East of England; and Northern Ireland.

Suppliers may apply for appointment to one or more regions.

Call-off contracts awarded under the Framework will be formed using the NEC4 Facilities Management Contract (FMC), including Service Orders for maintenance activities and, where applicable, Project Orders under Option X27 for minor works and projects.
