Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Cabinet Electrical Maintenance Servicing (CEMS)" to ensure maintenance across the British Forces Cyprus and Sovereign Base Areas Administration estate, encompassing 980 electrical cabinets. This service contract, classified under network systems, was awarded to British Telecommunications Public Limited Company using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £1,648,143 GBP, commenced on 20th March 2025 and will continue until 19th March 2028. The procurement process reached the award stage with the announcement released on 17th April 2025, and the services will span several UK territories including Anguilla, Bermuda, and Gibraltar.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in network systems services, particularly those capable of comprehensive electrical maintenance work. Although the contract was awarded to a large enterprise, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in servicing and maintaining electrical infrastructure might position themselves as subcontractors or partners in similar future contracts. Businesses aiming to grow in international territories, specifically within British Overseas Territories, could benefit from positioning themselves for future collaborations with organisations like the Crown Commercial Service and their framework agreements.
