Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioners for Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire procured electrical generator maintenance services, including testing and upkeep of backup generators. The generators support each police force’s operational integrity, so the requirement concerns planned and responsive maintenance of critical backup power equipment rather than installation or general electrical works. Lot 1 covers the Norfolk and Suffolk constabularies, with work delivered across those areas. Lot 2 covers Cambridgeshire. This is a public-sector facilities and engineering services requirement for suppliers able to maintain generators used in operational police environments. The relevant classification is CPV 50532300, repair and maintenance services of generators. Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement was a below-threshold open competition and is complete. Suppliers could bid for one or both lots, with electronic submission allowed. Evaluation was based on 60% price and 40% quality. Four bids were received and reached the final stage for each lot; all four final-stage bidders for each lot were SMEs. Lot 1 was awarded to Energy Management Solutions Ltd for £192,386 excluding VAT (£230,863.20 including VAT), with an award date of 28 August 2026. Its contract period is 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals to 29 October 2031. Lot 2 was awarded to E. Rand & Sons Limited for £125,371 excluding VAT (£150,445.20 including VAT), on the same dates and renewal basis. Contracts were scheduled for signature by 24 September 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand from three police forces for dependable generator maintenance and testing across multiple operational sites. A credible future competitor would need practical experience maintaining backup electrical generators, the engineering capacity to cover the relevant constabulary areas, and the resilience to support equipment on which operational continuity depends. The requirement was accessible to SMEs: both lots were explicitly suitable for smaller businesses, and every final-stage bidder was an SME. Suppliers could compete for either or both geographic groupings, making regional coverage or a well-managed multi-area service model relevant. Businesses should be able to present a strong quality case alongside competitive pricing, because quality accounted for 40% of evaluation. Evidence of reliable service delivery, testing discipline, response arrangements and capable engineering personnel would support that case.
