UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Open University procured services to upgrade all lighting to LED in the Geoffrey Crowther building. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services and concerns a building at the university’s Milton Keynes site. The buyer is The Open University, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The work is focused on a complete lighting upgrade rather than the supply of standalone lamps or equipment, so relevant businesses are those able to plan and deliver building-wide LED replacement works. Electrical contractors, lighting specialists and facilities maintenance providers with the operational capacity to work across an occupied or operational university building are the closest fit.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with one completed lot. The award was made to EJ Parker Technical Services (Central) Ltd, and the contract was signed on 14 April 2026. The contract runs from 14 April 2026 to 13 April 2027. Its value is £49,762 excluding VAT, or £59,714 including VAT. The process was described as below threshold, using an unspecified below-threshold procedure. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the requirement covering the Geoffrey Crowther building. These details indicate a single-site, approximately one-year services contract for the university’s LED lighting upgrade.

This award shows demand from The Open University for a substantial, building-wide LED lighting upgrade delivered as a managed repair and maintenance service. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in electrical and lighting installation, the capacity to replace all relevant lighting within a university building, and the ability to manage delivery as a single requirement rather than isolated product supply. Experience working for public-sector, education or other complex building estates would help demonstrate operational understanding, although the award data does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that scale and delivery capacity were relevant commercial characteristics for this requirement.
