Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "Digital Upgrade Programme - Pull-cords" has been completed by VIVID Housing Ltd, a buyer governed by public law in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. This initiative pertains to the industry category of alarm system and antenna installation work, classified under CPV code 45312000. The work involves upgrading pull-cord alarm systems across 26 residential blocks, and it was awarded via the Prefabricated Homes (PFH) framework. The procurement method was limited, meaning the award procedure occurred without prior publication due to technical reasons. The contract was signed on 6th February 2026, with an award status marked as active, signifying the commencement of works valued at £950,000. The supplier in charge is LeGrand Electric Limited, based in Birmingham.

This procurement presents potentially significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in alarm systems and antenna installations. The completion of the contract by LeGrand Electric Limited, an SME supplier, highlights an avenue for smaller specialised firms to gain substantial contracts within the housing and community amenities sector. Technical expertise and the ability to fulfil specific requirements like those found in framework agreements could be key for similar businesses aiming to capture such opportunities. Businesses located within regions UKJ and UKG, covering Portsmouth and Birmingham, may particularly benefit from proximity to the project locations for logistics and operational efficiency.
