Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "LTM - Library Lighting Replacement Basement Ground Floor" project was conducted by the University of Sussex, articulated as a public procurement authority in the sub-central government category. Located in Falmer, Brighton, the project involves replacing lighting in the library's ground and basement floors to comply with relevant legislation, specialised in the "other electrical installation work" category. The procurement method was identified as "limited," under a "Below threshold - limited competition" approach, and the process reached completion by the award stage, as evidenced on 13th April 2026. The contract period commenced on the same date and is set to conclude on 30th April 2027, ensuring a full year of engagement.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical works, particularly those familiar with compliance and installation projects within the public sector. Companies such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Lake Electrical Limited, which was awarded the contract, may find such projects aligned with their operational capacities. Enterprises engaged in similar sectors should explore comparable opportunities to enhance business growth by establishing themselves as reliable suppliers within public authority frameworks, especially those centred in South East England, where the project's delivery takes place.
