Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured electrical and data services for its operations in Coventry. The requirement covers Electrical Installation Condition Report inspections and associated remedial works; electrical load logging and measurement; thermal imaging of switchgear; electrical services installation, modifications and associated checks; data network installation with a Brand Rex 25-year warranty; and inspection and maintenance of uninterruptible power supply systems. It also includes portable appliance testing, stage lighting, workshop machinery inspections, kiln and pottery inspections, and lightning protection. This is a services contract spanning both electrical and data-network work. Businesses would need to assess whether they can provide the full range of inspection, testing, maintenance, remedial and installation services required by the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One supplier was selected: EJ Parker Technical Services (Central) Ltd. The award was made on 7 May 2026, after three final-stage bids, including two from SMEs. The award value is £1,400,000 excluding VAT and £1,680,000 including VAT. The award contract period was stated as 25 May 2026 to 24 May 2028, with one possible two-year extension. The signed contract records a period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with a maximum extension date of 30 June 2030, and a value of £1,400,000 excluding VAT. Evaluation weighted price at 80% and quality at 20%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Coventry City Council for a broad, integrated electrical and data-services capability rather than a single specialist task. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience across statutory electrical inspections, defect remediation, testing, maintenance, installation and specialist areas such as UPS systems, stage lighting, workshop machinery, kilns, pottery equipment and lightning protection. Data-network installation capability, including delivery against the specified Brand Rex warranty, would also be relevant. The contract’s agreed service measures indicate that suppliers must organise maintenance visits within 12 weeks of scheduling and submit electronic service reports within 10 working days. The competition attracted three final-stage bids, showing that both larger firms and SMEs can participate.
