Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent is initiating a procurement process titled "Electrical, Generators & UPS Services," focusing on the provision of reactive electrical maintenance services and associated tasks. This public procurement, currently in the planning stage, falls under the services industry category and is geographically located in the South East England region (UKJ4). The process is classified as an open procedure, inviting suppliers to engage through an open procurement method with a tender period concluding on 5th August 2026. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 29th July 2026, and an anticipated award date by 21st August 2026. The total contract value is projected at £1,869,000 with a gross value of £2,242,800.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical services, generator units, and uninterruptible power supplies. As the procurement favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it provides an advantageous platform for such companies to expand their business through public sector engagement. Firms that can deliver high-quality service and competitive pricing stand to benefit, given the procurement’s evaluation criteria, which prioritise quality (40%), price (50%), and social value (10%). The potential for contract renewal beyond the initial period also offers a sustained engagement opportunity for successful bidders.
