UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured a complete uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solution for its ECB Building in Coventry. The requirement covered the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of the UPS equipment, together with associated works needed to put the solution into service. This is primarily a goods requirement, but it also involves practical engineering, installation and commissioning activity. The work concerns power continuity and resilience for the university building, so relevant businesses are those able to provide an integrated UPS package rather than equipment supply alone. The buyer is Coventry University, a public-sector higher education institution. Delivery and performance are associated with the ECB Building in Coventry, with the procurement recorded as a single requirement rather than separate service or equipment packages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Dale Power Solutions Ltd. The award was made on 2 July 2026. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 3 August 2026. Its value is £51,241 excluding VAT, or £61,489.20 including VAT. The award covers the single UPS requirement for the ECB Building. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies uninterruptible power supplies as the procurement classification. The process used a limited method rather than an open competition, so the opportunity was pursued through a restricted group of suppliers selected by the university.

This award shows Coventry University’s demand for a complete, building-specific UPS installation rather than standalone electrical equipment. Suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to specify or supply suitable uninterruptible power systems, manage delivery, install the equipment safely, commission it in an operational building and complete associated works. A credible competitor would need an integrated delivery team covering power-protection equipment, electrical installation and commissioning, with the practical capacity to coordinate the whole requirement through to handover. The successful supplier was a large specialist power-solutions business, indicating that relevant technical capability, dependable delivery capacity and experience of end-to-end UPS projects would be important when competing for a comparable university requirement.
