Summary of the contracting process

The London Fire Commissioner has undertaken a procurement process titled "PROC 7514 - Electrical sub-station upgrade programme," aimed at enhancing electrical infrastructure to support their Carbon Net Zero goals for 2030. The procurement falls under the industry category of works, with a focus on electricity supply installations across sixteen fire stations, including locations such as Hendon, Holloway, and Clapham. The project was initiated at the planning stage in June 2025, progressed through the tender stage by September 2025, and culminated in awarding the contract on 18th December 2025. This procurement was executed using a selective competitive flexible procedure, indicating a structured competition to select suitable candidates.

This tender presents growth prospects for businesses specializing in electrical engineering and infrastructure projects, particularly those with a focus on the installation, distribution, and control of electricity. With an awarded contract value exceeding £3 million to SOS Electricals and Services Limited, the project opened opportunities not only for large enterprises but also for SMEs like Energi Solutions, demonstrating the inclusive nature of the procurement. Businesses capable of providing robust electrical solutions, adept in handling large-scale infrastructure projects, and equipped with the capability to contribute to sustainable energy goals stand well-suited to engage in such endeavours. The tender's focus on carbon neutrality and upgradation of essential infrastructure suggests a priority on sustainable growth, potentially benefitting organisations aligned with these ambitions.

This will shortlist the top 5 scoring bidders who score above the quality threshold to complete the Stage 2 evaluation. In the event that fewer than 5 bidders exceed the quality threshold (of 40%) to progress then that number of suppliers will be the number that are progressed to stage 2. Stage 2 includes both a Commercial and Delivery Capability evaluation during which, bidders can select which Lots they intend to bid for. Bidders will be able to bid for as many Lots as they wish. The commercial evaluation seeks firm pricing for the bidders technical solution for delivery, bidders shall outline the decision making process for the solution and how they will resource delivery within the timescales available. Bidder are required to convince the LFC of their ability to deliver the Lots they wish to secure. Both the commercial and Delivery Assessment elements of the bidders proposal(s) shall be evaluated against the following weighting - Quality 40%, commercial 60%. A round of clarification meetings will allow the LFC to complete our evaluation, testing bidders delivery approach where required. Responses will be re-scored as necessary to complete the evaluation and identify the winning bidder for each Lot by combining the commercial and Delivery Assessment scores together. The highest score for each Lot being awarded, provided that all other conditions within the ITT are met. We shall seek to award a maximum of 4 contracts under this event, one for each Lot."
