Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea commissioned works to replace existing lighting and control systems across the Kensington Town Hall campus. The requirement covers installation of LED lighting and upgrading lighting controls, delivered as electrical engineering installation works (CPV 45315100). The work is in London, at the Kensington Town Hall campus. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is intended for a contractor able to undertake a coordinated campus-wide lighting installation and controls upgrade, rather than a supply-only lighting order or a standalone design service. The procurement also covers associated services connected with the highway electrical installations purchasing arrangement used for the competition.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 following a further competition under the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation Dynamic Purchasing System for highway electrical installations, Category 2, including associated services. The contract was awarded to Urbis Schréder Ltd for £1,198,976.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 22 January 2027, with a stated duration of six months. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026. This was a works contract, and the award is recorded as active. A single supplier was selected. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future requirements from this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for substantial, campus-wide electrical installation works combining LED lighting replacement with lighting-control upgrades. A credible competitor would need qualified and experienced personnel able to plan and deliver coordinated works across an occupied or operational public-sector estate, manage installation of modern LED systems, and integrate or upgrade associated controls. Capability in electrical engineering installation and related highway electrical services would be relevant to the purchasing route used here. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that scale, delivery capacity and established technical resources are important competitive considerations.
