UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria is procuring fixed-wiring electrical inspection services across police and fire service estates in Cumbria. The work concerns inspection of electrical installations, under a wider building-installation maintenance services category. The process covers three groups of sites, and the awarded work spans all three. The associated award items are classified as electrical wiring work. The service is relevant to electrical inspection and testing contractors able to work across public-sector property estates. The recorded delivery locations on the tender items are broad UK regions rather than named sites; the described purpose is inspections across the commissioner’s police and fire estates in Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to H-LEC Ltd. It used an open procedure. The original tender estimated £200,000 net (£240,000 gross) for each of three groups; the award records a single value of £46,184.35 net (£55,421.22 gross) covering all three, so the figures should not be read as a separate award value for each group. The award date was 16 October 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031. Tenders were evaluated on quality, weighted at 40%, and price, weighted at 60%. Each group was marked suitable for SMEs, and the tender attracted 19 bids for Group 1, 17 for Group 2 and 16 for Group 3.

This award shows recurring demand from Cumbria’s police and fire authorities for electrical fixed-wiring inspections across their estates, organised into three groups and awarded through open competition. A future competitor would need the operational capacity to inspect multiple public-sector properties across Cumbria and deliver consistent inspection services across the grouped requirement. The evaluation placed greater weight on price than quality, while still assigning quality a substantial share, so a credible offer would need to demonstrate sound technical delivery alongside competitive pricing. SME suitability and strong bid participation in each group indicate that smaller suppliers competed, although the awarded contract covers all three groups. Electrical contractors with relevant inspection and testing capability, experience working across property portfolios, and the resources to manage a multi-site service are well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
