Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council has awarded a contract for the maintenance and support of hardware and software for generators and uninterruptible power systems. The award, concluded on 29th May 2026, was to A J CREWS & CO LIMITED, a Cardiff-based SME. This procurement process, identified under the contract ID CCBC/PS2963/26/SKA, was executed through an open competition method classified as "below threshold", following the Welsh devolved regulations. The contract concerns three critical locations within the borough, and its active term is from 1st June 2026 to 14th May 2029, with a potential extension to 2031. The services fall under various CPV classifications related to electrical systems and maintenance services, and the contract is valued at £160,000 excluding VAT.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specializing in electrical systems and maintenance services, particularly SMEs looking to solidify their footprint within the public sector. It is a strategic win for companies that can manage the maintenance of critical infrastructure like emergency power systems and UPS, with potential for growth given the contract's optional extensions and the Council's right to modify the service inventory. Businesses with expertise in managing extensive hardware and software support, alongside the ability to adapt to potential scope changes, would find this contract highly beneficial for expanding their service portfolio.
