Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is procuring electrical and structural safety testing of street lighting columns across Pembrokeshire. The service covers inspection and testing of columns to assess electrical safety and structural condition, supporting the safe operation and maintenance of the council’s street-lighting assets. The procurement is a public-sector services requirement, classified under repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Ateb Group Ltd is also identified as a public-sector buying organisation involved in the process. Delivery is within Pembrokeshire, Wales. This opportunity is relevant to electrical testing contractors, structural inspection specialists and maintenance businesses able to assess street-lighting columns and provide reliable testing and reporting services for a local authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold open competition with one lot and a closed single-supplier framework arrangement without reopening competition. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. The estimated value was £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT). The award was made on 8 June 2026 to Centregreat Limited and Electrical Testing Ltd, with an awarded value of £230,000 excluding VAT (£276,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. Evaluation weighted cost at 60%, resources at 15%, portal arrangements at 15% and administrative process at 10%.

This award demonstrates sustained local-authority demand for combined electrical and structural safety testing of street-lighting columns in Pembrokeshire, delivered through an open competition and then a single-supplier framework arrangement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable competence in electrical testing, structural assessment and safety-focused inspection of lighting columns, supported by suitable equipment, qualified personnel and robust reporting procedures. The evaluation gives greatest importance to cost, but also tests the supplier’s resources, its approach to using the required portal and the quality of its administrative process. The selected supply team includes both an SME and a large business, showing that the requirement can suit a specialist smaller contractor or a larger testing provider with the capacity to deliver a multi-year local-authority service.
