Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Winchester City Council procured electrical services covering electrical testing and ad hoc electrical installation work. The requirement is categorised as electrical services, with installation work as an additional category. Delivery is associated with Winchester, and the stated coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services contract rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project. It would suit electrical contractors able to provide testing services alongside responsive installation work for a local authority across a broad geographical area. The council is the buyer and the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises; it is not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Winchester City Council used a tender process, with the procurement method described as “Other”. The tender submission deadline was 19 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Signix Limited on 24 April 2026 for £1,500,000. The contract period runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2029. The award is active. The published evaluation information identifies the requirement and service scope but does not set out a separate price-versus-quality weighting. The selected supplier is a large organisation. This outcome records one award and one supplier; the awarded amount is the value of that award and should not be treated as a wider programme total.

For a supplier assessing future local-authority opportunities, this procurement demonstrates demand from Winchester City Council for a combined electrical testing and ad hoc installation service delivered over a substantial multi-year requirement. A credible competitor would need qualified electrical teams able to inspect, test, report on and remedy electrical systems, while also handling unplanned installation work. It would need the operational capacity to provide a responsive service across Winchester and the wider geographical coverage stated for the requirement, together with systems for scheduling, compliance records, reporting and customer communication. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist contractor could be relevant if it can demonstrate sufficient workforce, geographic reach, resilience and experience in public-sector electrical services. The award also indicates that the council accepted a large supplier for this scale and scope.
