Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by VIVID Housing Ltd, a sub-central government public authority based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, involved the supply and installation of electrical systems for kitchens and bathrooms across its housing stock. The procurement fell under the "works" category and spanned multiple regions, including UKJ and UKK. This process, which utilised an open competition method classified as below threshold, has now reached completion with key activities spanning from the tender stage in September 2025 to the award and contract signing stage in February 2026. A contract worth £1,250,000, with an optional two-year extension, is scheduled from February 2026 to February 2029.

This tender presented significant opportunities for SMEs, with BLUE ELECTRIC CONTRACTORS LIMITED, an SME based in Hurstpierpoint, being the successful supplier. The project emphasized a high quality-to-price ratio of 70:30, making it attractive to businesses with a strong focus on delivering quality work within the electrical installation industry. Companies with expertise in electrical systems, particularly those familiar with public sector procurement, were well-suited to compete, given the project's long-term nature and potential for contract renewal. This opportunity not only provided significant business growth potential but also supported local economic development by engaging regional businesses in the UK.
