UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent is procuring electrical maintenance services for sites in Kent. The requirement covers reactive electrical maintenance, inspection and testing, call-out support and minor works. It also includes managing specialist subcontractors for associated systems. The technical scope includes electrical services, generator units and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). This is a public-sector services opportunity for contractors able to maintain electrical infrastructure and provide associated resilience systems. Suppliers may need to coordinate their own specialist subcontractors where work involves generator or UPS systems. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at Kent Police Headquarters in Maidstone, and delivery is required across Kent. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist electrical maintenance firms as well as larger providers with wider coverage.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot, above-threshold services procurement. The estimated value is £1,869,000 excluding VAT, or £2,242,800 including VAT. Enquiries were due by 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 2 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 15 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029, with renewal rights for four further 12-month periods, potentially extending to 30 October 2033. Evaluation is based on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed and responses must be in English.

This opportunity suits electrical contractors with practical experience of reactive maintenance, planned inspection and testing, call-out response and minor electrical works. Strong candidates are likely to have the operational capacity to support police facilities across Kent and to respond reliably when faults affect essential electrical infrastructure. Experience with generators and uninterruptible power supplies will be relevant, particularly for firms that can inspect, test, maintain and troubleshoot backup power equipment. The requirement also favours suppliers able to manage specialist subcontractors for associated systems, either through an established supply chain or in-house contract-management capability. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate service quality and explain how their delivery will create social value, as both factors contribute to the evaluation.
