Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales procured works for a back-up generator and changeover switch project. The requirement covers the supply and installation of equipment to provide electrical resilience, including electrical installation work. The work is associated with the South Wales policing estate, with the buying organisation based in Bridgend. The project was structured as a single package rather than separate service or supply lots. It is relevant to electrical contractors, generator specialists, switchgear installers and firms able to deliver an integrated backup-power installation. Suppliers with the ability to coordinate equipment supply, electrical works, testing and commissioning would be aligned with the stated requirement. The contracting authority is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing in South Wales.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Riverside Industrial Equipment Limited was selected for the single package. The contract was signed on 16 April 2026 and covered 20 April to 29 May 2026. Its original value was £173,850 excluding VAT, or £208,620 including VAT. The contract was recorded as terminated on 21 July 2026, with completion given as the rationale. Implementation ended on 8 July 2026, with a final value of £183,547.50 excluding VAT, or £220,257 including VAT. The procedure was below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The tender was complete and the award remained active in the published outcome. The procurement used one lot and was categorised as works.

This outcome provides a clear indication of the authority’s requirement for resilient electrical power infrastructure: a backup generator combined with a changeover switch, delivered as an integrated electrical installation. Suppliers considering comparable public-sector work would need practical capability in generator and switchgear supply, installation, connection to existing electrical systems, testing and commissioning. Relevant experience should cover safely delivering works in an operational policing or other critical public-service environment, where continuity of power and controlled changeover are important. Credible competitors would also benefit from demonstrable project management, competent electrical personnel, equipment coordination and the capacity to complete a self-contained installation rather than supplying an isolated component. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can deliver this type of requirement directly.
