Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk Council procured planned servicing, corrective maintenance and refurbishment of electrical systems in its corporate buildings across West Suffolk. The works cover rewiring and alterations to existing circuits, wiring new buildings, upgrading electrical supplies, electrical installation condition reports, testing, certification and repairs. They also include lamps and fittings, emergency, external and energy-efficient lighting, controls, uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic equipment, electric heating, electric vehicle chargers, water heaters, hand dryers, extraction fans, and enabling works for alarms, CCTV and other installations. Minor associated building works include non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed asbestos works. Delivery may involve working alongside other contractors or trades. This is a construction and electrical installation requirement, including electrical-system repair and building-services maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lark Technology Group Limited on 1 September 2026. It was a below-threshold open competition, using a closed framework arrangement for labour and materials with competition reopened for requirements. There was one lot. Its contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with an option to break the contract in the second, third or fourth year. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT (£2,400,000 including VAT); the award value is £2,400,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on 55% price and 45% quality. Fifteen bids were received, with 11 reaching the final stage, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 25 September 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from West Suffolk Council for a broad, integrated electrical maintenance and refurbishment capability across corporate buildings. A credible future supplier would need to deliver planned and reactive work, inspections, testing, certification, emergency lighting, external lighting, energy-efficiency measures, photovoltaic and uninterruptible power-supply servicing, electric heating and electric vehicle charger work. Experience coordinating with other trades and carrying out minor building works, including relevant asbestos activities, would be important. Electrical work must be undertaken by a NICEIC, ECA or other appropriately accredited contractor. The successful requirement attracted substantial SME participation, indicating that suitably capable smaller firms can compete. Suppliers should be able to manage labour and materials across varied building-services tasks while demonstrating strong quality alongside competitive pricing.
