Mr Stuart Hamer - Principal

Having worked at Lincoln UTC since January 2016, initially as the Vice Principal, and now as the Principal… I am incredibly proud of who we are and what we stand for. Teaching is not easy, yet after 21 years in education, I am more enthusiastic than ever before, and surrounded by colleagues that thrive in our truly unique school environment.

We have leading industry standard equipment, and we are housed in a grade II listed building that is complimented by a new £9 million Science and Engineering facility.

Motivated students choose to travel from across Lincolnshire, to join us in years 10 and 12. At Lincoln UTC they have a unique opportunity – to train as scientists and engineers in the exciting context of real-life industry experiences.

Graduates of Lincoln UTC are well rounded, confident and articulate. Academically, technically and practically experienced in science and engineering, they are comfortable working in industry and are prepared for a lifelong journey of learning throughout their working careers.

Our students are committed to the highest standards of achievement and attention to detail, seeking to be the best they can be in their chosen field. Their ability to work effectively, both independently and as team members, and their innovative, creative and dynamic attitude towards working and learning, ensures that they are both highly employable and successful in obtaining places at universities or with employers of their choice. Lincoln UTC graduates are the very best scientists and engineers their potential allows as they finish their schooling at 16 or 18.

I am sure you will be excited by what you read on our website and have further questions that you wish to explore. I encourage you to attend one of our many Open Days, events and activities so that you can meet our staff and students.

Lincoln UTC is a well-established College situated in the heart of Lincon, which includes a multitude of outlets currently where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement.

The contract being tendered on behalf of the client at Lincoln UTC is for three years, starting from 4th of April 2025 until 31st of March 2028 , with the option to extend for a further term of three years on the same terms and conditions excluding the right to further extend. The contract will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis to the College.

Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted a credit will be required by the College. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit.

The College require that the tendered number of hours are worked at all times and the successful contractor is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave.
