Summary of the contracting process

Falmouth Exeter Plus (FXPlus) procured electrical maintenance services for the Falmouth University campuses at Woodlane in Falmouth and Treliever Road in Penryn. The requirement covers repair, maintenance and related electrical services for building installations across these university sites. FXPlus is the buying organisation and an education body governed by public law. The work is categorised as services, specifically electrical building installation maintenance and electrical services. Delivery is at the university campuses in Falmouth and Penryn, Cornwall. The procurement relates to one requirement covering both locations, rather than separate geographical packages. It is therefore relevant to electrical contractors able to provide planned or reactive maintenance services across university buildings and manage delivery at both campuses.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The submission deadline was amended to 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and bids were opened that day; eight bids were received, all electronically. SHERWOODS (SW) LIMITED was awarded the contract, which was signed on 4 September 2026. The active contract is valued at £1,700,000 and runs for 60 months, with an option for a further 12 months by agreement between both parties. Evaluation weighted technical and quality at 50%, sustainability and social value at 10%, and price at 40%. Variants were not allowed, and bids had to be submitted in English. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates established demand from FXPlus for a substantial, multi-year electrical maintenance service across two university campuses. A credible future competitor would need to deliver reliable electrical building installation maintenance at both Falmouth and Penryn, with sufficient operational capacity to support a long-term contract rather than isolated call-outs. The evaluation places greater emphasis on technical and quality delivery than on price alone, so bidders would need a clear service model, competent personnel and evidence that maintenance work can be managed consistently across active education sites. Sustainability and social value also form part of the assessment, requiring suppliers to show how their service contributes beyond the core electrical work. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale is achievable for a suitably capable smaller contractor.
