Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured the supply of electrical equipment and apparatus for use in its operations. The requirement covers general electrical equipment rather than installation, construction or consultancy services. The procurement is a goods contract managed and paid for by Newcastle City Council, with delivery activity in Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding North East area. It was structured as a single requirement and supported a closed ranked framework arrangement, allowing the council to obtain supplies from appointed electrical distribution businesses. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors able to supply a broad range of electrical equipment to a public-sector buyer, with the operational capacity to serve council requirements reliably across the delivery area.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Newcastle City Council used an open procedure for one lot. Six valid bids were received. The award was made on 27 May 2026 to Edmundson Electrical Limited, Rexel UK Limited, YESSS (B) Electrical Ltd and Eyre & Elliston Limited. The award value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT, or £6,000,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 12 July 2030. Evaluation was based on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%. The arrangement is a ranked framework for up to four participants, with call-offs either directly or through mini-competition.

This award demonstrates established council demand for a broad electrical equipment supply capability delivered through a multi-supplier framework. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be established electrical wholesalers or distributors with extensive product coverage, dependable stock and fulfilment arrangements, and the ability to support regular public-sector orders. The successful supplier profile indicates that national or regional businesses with substantial operational capacity can compete, while the framework structure rewards organisations able to maintain consistent service across multiple call-offs. Credible competitors would need strong catalogue management, responsive ordering and delivery processes, reliable account management, and evidence of quality performance. They would also need to present competitive pricing while demonstrating service quality clearly against weighted evaluation criteria.
