Summary of the contracting process

Trafford College, part of the Trafford and Stockport College Group, procured emergency lighting testing and maintenance services for its educational buildings. The requirement covers the inspection, testing, servicing and maintenance of emergency lighting systems, within the wider category of electrical building installation repair and maintenance services (CPV 50711000). The buyer is Trafford College, based on Manchester Road, Manchester, England. The recorded delivery location is associated with the buyer’s site in Manchester and includes the United Kingdom. This is a services contract rather than a supply-only or construction opportunity, so it is relevant to firms that maintain life-safety lighting systems in occupied public or education-sector buildings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 9 April 2026. The contract period runs from 10 April 2026 to 9 April 2029. The award was made on 30 July 2026 to B-ENGINEERING (NW) LTD, for £102,744.80 including the stated GBP currency. The award is active and covers the same three-year period. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the evaluation concerned the requirements set out for emergency lighting testing and maintenance services. The award was made to one supplier, with no lots or separate award values recorded.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers will need a practical capability in emergency lighting inspection, testing, planned maintenance and fault rectification across college or other public-sector premises. Relevant experience should include managing recurring compliance-led visits, maintaining accurate service records, identifying defects and completing remedial work without disrupting building users. Firms with the operational capacity to cover multiple educational buildings, respond to faults and coordinate access with estates teams would be well placed. The procurement’s SME suitability indicates that a specialist independent contractor can compete, provided it can demonstrate dependable engineering resources, competent technicians, suitable health and safety arrangements and experience delivering electrical building maintenance for institutional clients.
