Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales procured Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) consultancy services for North Wales Police and North Wales Fire & Rescue Service. The appointed organisation is expected to provide professional building-services consultancy across a jointly managed and complex property estate. The scope includes engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations in buildings, alongside wider building-services consultancy. The work is delivered across North Wales. This is a public-sector estates and building-engineering requirement, relevant to consultancies that can advise on, design and support mechanical and electrical systems across a varied operational property portfolio. The requirement is classified as services and covers the shared estate managed by the two emergency-service organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Seven bids were received, all reaching the final stage, including seven from SMEs. Ernest Griffiths Consulting Engineers and Ernest Griffiths Consulting Engineers LLP were awarded the single lot on 9 June 2026 for £60,000 excluding VAT (£75,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 1 July 2031, while the award period was stated as 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2031. The original tender deadline was 17 April 2026 at 1pm, with enquiries closing on 27 March 2026. Evaluation was based on 70% quality and 30% price. The contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from North Wales emergency services for specialist M&E consultancy across a complex, jointly managed property estate. A credible future competitor would need a qualified and experienced building-services consultancy team able to design and advise on mechanical and electrical installations in buildings, and to manage professional services across a varied operational estate. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, and all seven final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the scale can be addressed by a specialist practice rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm. Strong quality evidence is particularly important because quality carried substantially greater weighting than price. Relevant experience in public-sector, emergency-service or complex estate environments would help demonstrate delivery capability, technical depth and understanding of operational constraints.
