Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

New College Swindon procured electrical materials for use across its operations. The requirement is for approved suppliers able to provide electrical materials as goods, rather than installation, construction or other associated services. Delivery is centred on New College Swindon’s Queens Drive Campus in Swindon, with the stated delivery scope also covering locations elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This may suit electrical wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers with the product range and logistics arrangements to supply a public college across these locations. The procurement is classified as electrical materials, under CPV 31681410, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 15 May 2026 at 11:00. Rexel UK (Newey & Eyre / WF Senate) was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026 for £115,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is recorded as active, with no cancellation or termination recorded. The requirement was for approved suppliers of electrical materials, and the award was made through an open competition. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one contract value; this figure should therefore be treated as the value of that award rather than a total across multiple lots or suppliers.

This award provides a clear indication of New College Swindon’s demand for a broad electrical-materials supply capability and its use of an open route to select approved suppliers. Competitors considering the requirement when it returns to market would need dependable access to electrical products, strong wholesale or distribution capacity, and reliable fulfilment to the college and the wider delivery locations named in the requirement. They would also need to demonstrate the operational resilience expected of a public-sector supplier: accurate ordering, consistent product availability, responsive account management and dependable delivery. The successful supplier profile is relevant to electrical wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors, including SMEs able to combine suitable product coverage with the systems and logistics needed to support a multi-year college supply arrangement.
