Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University procured ongoing maintenance of the intelligent lighting control system installed across multiple buildings on its estate. The requirement covers servicing the Simmtronic lighting controls system and supplying the materials needed to support it. This is a specialist building-services maintenance requirement, falling within repair and maintenance services for electrical building installations. Delivery is across the university estate in Oxford. The buyer is Oxford Brookes University, a public authority and sub-central government body. The appointed supplier is Simmtronic Limited, indicating that the requirement is specifically linked to the operation and support of Simmtronic equipment already installed in the university’s buildings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. Simmtronic Limited holds the active award, and the contract was signed on 27 May 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029, with a possible one-year renewal extending the maximum period to 30 June 2030. Its value is £71,857.20 excluding VAT, or £86,228.64 including VAT. The award covers one lot and relates to maintenance of the intelligent lighting control system. The selected supplier is an SME. The arrangement is therefore an established contract rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award demonstrates a continuing requirement for specialist support of Simmtronic intelligent lighting controls across a university estate with multiple buildings. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible experience maintaining installed Simmtronic systems, diagnosing and resolving faults in electrical building installations, and supplying compatible replacement or support materials. They would also need the operational capacity to provide ongoing servicing across an estate, manage planned and reactive maintenance, and sustain service quality over a multi-year arrangement with potential continuation. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused technical business rather than only a large general facilities contractor. It also indicates the value of manufacturer-specific capability when this buyer’s requirement returns.
