Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council, serving as the buying organisation, initiated a procurement process to upgrade the lighting and emergency lighting systems to LED at Shevington High School, located on Shevington Lane, Shevington, Wigan, with the postal code WN6 8AB. The procurement, classified under the 'Electrical installation work' industry category, is in the 'Award' stage, having been completed with the contract award to Rothwell Plumbing Services on 11th June 2026. The tender process, which used an unspecified procurement method categorised as 'Other', concluded with the contract start date on 18th June 2026 and the end date set for 18th December 2026. The project is valued at approximately £161,033.47.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs involved in electrical installation work. Companies specialising in lighting systems, especially those with expertise in LED technology, would find this project suitable. The project's focus on upgrading school infrastructure aligns well with businesses capable of delivering high-quality, efficient lighting solutions. Although the contract has been awarded to Rothwell Plumbing Services, similar future opportunities may continue to arise within this sector, highlighting the potential for businesses to engage with public sector projects via local government contracts. The focus on suitability for SMEs opens avenues for smaller enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio within the public sector.
