Summary of the contracting process

Harris Federation is procuring works to replace distribution boards at Peckham, within London. The requirement covers electricity distribution and control apparatus, including distribution equipment, distribution systems and distribution switchboards. This is an electrical installation and replacement project rather than a supply-only opportunity: the successful contractor will carry out the works associated with replacing the existing distribution boards. The contracting organisation is Harris Federation, based in Croydon. The work is categorised as construction works and is intended for delivery in London. Businesses that undertake electrical distribution, switchboard replacement or associated building electrical works should consider this opportunity relevant, particularly where they can deliver a defined project for an education-sector buyer.

The process reached tender: Harris Federation invited offers through an open procedure described as below threshold. The deadline for submitting tenders was 14 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract period set by the buyer runs from 24 August 2026 to 2 September 2026, giving a short delivery window. The estimated contract value is £150,000. The opportunity is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement concerns one overall requirement for distribution board replacements in Peckham, London. The tender is evaluated through the procurement process set out by the buyer; the available summary does not state the award criteria. Suppliers should review the tender documents for the detailed specification and submission requirements.

This opportunity suits electrical contractors and specialist building-services firms experienced in replacing distribution boards, distribution equipment and switchboards. It is also relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises, which the buyer identifies as suitable participants. Businesses should be able to plan and resource a focused electrical works project, coordinate site activity and complete the required replacement works within the buyer’s stated contract window. Relevant experience in electricity distribution and control installations will help suppliers understand the technical nature of the requirement. Firms whose usual work includes switchboard replacement, distribution-system upgrades or comparable electrical works in occupied or operational buildings are likely to be better placed to compete. The buyer is an education-sector federation, so contractors familiar with institutional sites may find the requirement particularly relevant.
