Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon & Somerset, working with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset, procured generator servicing and maintenance for policing facilities across the Avon & Somerset and Dorset policing areas. The requirement covers annual and interim servicing, load-bank testing, condition surveys, planned maintenance, reactive repairs and emergency call-out services for multiple generators. This is a specialist engineering and maintenance services opportunity, covering both generator equipment and its repair and upkeep. The procurement was divided geographically into Avon & Somerset and Dorset lots. It is relevant to businesses able to maintain generator installations, assess their condition, respond to faults and provide emergency support across police sites in these areas.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Four bids were received for each lot, with all final-stage bids submitted by SMEs. Pharos Generator Services Limited was awarded the contract on 16 June 2026 for the Avon & Somerset lot, with an award value of £191,142 excluding VAT (£229,370 including VAT). The signed contract is active from 6 July 2026 to 30 June 2029 and is valued at £64,000 excluding VAT (£76,800 including VAT). Evaluation for both lots was based on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. The lots were each identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from two police commissioners for dependable generator maintenance across operational policing sites. A credible competitor would need in-house or directly managed capability for planned servicing, interim inspections, load-bank testing, condition surveys, reactive repairs and emergency call-outs. The requirement suits an SME with sufficient engineering capacity, geographic coverage and out-of-hours response arrangements for police facilities in Avon & Somerset and Dorset. Evidence of reliable work on multiple generator installations, fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance and rapid mobilisation would strengthen a future response. Suppliers should also be able to present a clear quality approach and meaningful social value commitments, since these were substantial parts of the evaluation alongside price.
