Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed the procurement process for the "ASSL Emergency Lighting" project, involving the replacement of the emergency lighting system with a smartscan system. This contract, under the works category, was awarded on 22nd October 2025 to AJ Crews & Co Ltd. The tender was conducted by direct procurement, below the threshold, implying there was no competitive bidding process. The project was located in Cardiff, UK, and completed between 1st August and 30th August 2025. The legal basis for this process aligns with UKPGA 2023/54, and the contract value stands at £140,567.00, excluding VAT.

This tender presents growth opportunities for firms specialising in electrical installation works, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality, smart lighting solutions. Large-scale enterprises with experience working with public authorities would have been well-suited to compete. Such contracts allow businesses to solidify their reputation with a sub-central government body, potentially opening doors for future collaborations in similar projects within the Welsh region or beyond. While competition was not a factor in selection for this specific contract, firms positioned for direct procurement opportunities could leverage similar opportunities for business expansion.
