Summary of the contracting process

Falmouth Exeter Plus procured electrical maintenance and related electrical services for its university campuses. The work covers repair and maintenance of electrical building installations, including ongoing services needed to keep campus electrical systems operating safely and reliably. Delivery is across the Falmouth campuses at Woodlane, Falmouth, and the Penryn campus on Treliever Road, Penryn, Cornwall. The buying organisation is Falmouth Exeter Plus, which manages the requirement for these sites. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The classification is CPV 50711000 for repair and maintenance services of electrical building installations, with CPV 71314100 also covering electrical services. Suppliers serving educational or similarly complex multi-site estates would find the requirement particularly relevant.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Sherwoods (SW) Ltd on 4 September 2026 for GBP 1,700,000. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2031, giving a five-year term. The tender described an option to extend the term by a further 12 months. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is for Falmouth Exeter Plus and covers the Falmouth and Penryn campuses. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as having an active award. No lots were used, and the published procurement information does not set out separate award weightings or evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Falmouth Exeter Plus for planned and responsive electrical maintenance across university campuses in Cornwall. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to repair and maintain electrical building installations, provide broader electrical services, and support safe, dependable operation across more than one site. Relevant experience of working in occupied educational, public-sector or similarly complex buildings would help demonstrate understanding of access, safety, continuity and stakeholder requirements. Suppliers should be able to organise suitably qualified engineers, manage planned maintenance and reactive call-outs, keep clear service records, and coordinate delivery between Falmouth and Penryn. The buyer’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs suggests that a well-organised specialist contractor, potentially with appropriate local capacity and supply-chain support, could be a credible contender.
