Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University procured fixed electrical wire inspection and testing services across its City, Clifton, Brackenhurst and Confetti campuses in Nottingham. The requirement is a technical testing service covering the university’s electrical installations across these sites. The university is the buyer and the work is classified under CPV 71632000, technical testing services. This is a multi-campus estates compliance requirement rather than a general construction or electrical installation contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those providing inspection and testing of fixed electrical wiring and able to deliver a consistent service across several university campuses in Nottingham. The requirement is categorised as services and was treated as an above-threshold procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dalkia Engineering Ltd on 4 August 2026. One lot was awarded at a gross value of £280,000. The contract was signed on 23 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an extension period available to 31 August 2029. The procedure was an open procedure, evaluated on commercial offer at 35%, technical ability at 50%, health and safety at 10%, and strategic commitments and sustainability at 5%. The tender closed on 17 June 2026 after an amendment extended the submission date; enquiries closed on 5 June 2026. Fourteen bids reached the final stage, including thirteen from SMEs. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and included renewal options described as 1 + 1 + 1.

This award demonstrates established demand from Nottingham Trent University for fixed electrical wire inspection and testing across a dispersed campus estate. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical ability in electrical inspection and testing, the capacity to coordinate work across City, Clifton, Brackenhurst and Confetti campuses, and robust health and safety arrangements. The evaluation placed greatest emphasis on technical ability, followed by the commercial offer, so suppliers would need both competent delivery methods and disciplined pricing. Evidence of strategic commitments and sustainability would also contribute to competitiveness. The requirement attracted substantial SME participation, indicating that specialist smaller firms can be relevant, provided they can manage a multi-site university service and meet the required quality and safety standards.
