UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought services to install and commission a secondary backup generator in Q Block at its Bristol campus. The requirement included supplying a 62kVA generator, installing it and providing additional connection support to AWP. This is specialist electrical and generator installation work, covering the practical delivery and commissioning of standby power equipment. The work was for the university as the public-sector buyer, with delivery in Bristol, United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as one complete lot and relates specifically to generator installation services rather than general electrical maintenance or wider construction activity.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. RMC Electrical Contractors Limited was selected for the generator installation services. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026, runs from 1 July 2026 to 2 July 2026, and has a value of £73,618 excluding VAT, or £88,341.60 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the procurement covered one lot. The requirement was classified under CPV 51111200, installation services of generators.

This procurement shows demand from the University of the West of England for specialist standby-power installation delivered as a focused electrical works package. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience supplying, installing and commissioning generators, including secondary backup systems and associated electrical connections. Capability to work safely in a university campus environment and to coordinate connections with third parties such as AWP would be relevant. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a suitably qualified specialist contractor rather than only a large national business. Firms with generator engineering, electrical installation, commissioning and connection-support capability would be best placed to compete when this buyer next needs comparable work.
