Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is seeking a contractor for generator replacement and system upgrade works at its Civic Centre and a site on Cromer Road in Stoke-on-Trent. The requirement covers generators, with work across multiple sites and the repurposing of an existing generator at one location. Although classified as a goods procurement, the opportunity is relevant to businesses that supply, install, upgrade or otherwise deliver generator systems as an integrated project. The council is the buying organisation and the work is to be delivered at its Civic Centre and Cromer Road sites. Suppliers should consider whether they can manage coordinated activity across both locations and provide the practical expertise needed to upgrade generator infrastructure while incorporating an existing generator into the solution.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission was allowed, with submissions and queries made through the council’s online procurement system. The deadline for offers was 21 August 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 2 November 2026. Its estimated value is £280,000 excluding VAT, or £336,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full requirement. Offers were to be evaluated under the stated below-threshold evaluation approach. The tender deadline was extended to 21 August at 12 noon. This is a single short-duration contract for the generator replacement and upgrade requirement across the identified Stoke-on-Trent sites.

This opportunity suits generator suppliers, electrical and mechanical engineering contractors, and specialist building-services firms able to deliver generator replacement or upgrade projects. The work calls for capability in generator systems, site installation or modification, and the practical integration or repurposing of an existing generator. Suppliers should be comfortable coordinating delivery across the Civic Centre and Cromer Road sites and working to a defined implementation programme. Businesses with experience managing multi-site generator upgrades are likely to be well placed to assess the requirement and submit a suitable offer. The procurement may also suit a contractor that can combine equipment supply with the associated technical, installation and commissioning activities needed to complete the upgraded generator system.
