Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured lighting replacement projects, described as “Lighting replacement projects-UoB”. The requirement covers the supply of lighting equipment and electric lamps for replacement works, under the goods category. The buying organisation is the University of Bedfordshire, based in Luton. Delivery is identified within the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate publicly described workstreams. It is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist suppliers of lighting equipment, particularly businesses able to support replacement projects for a public-sector university. The scope is focused on supplying lighting products rather than a broader facilities-management or construction service.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is complete. The University of Bedfordshire made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and HACEL LIGHTING LIMITED was selected as supplier. The award was recorded on 28 July 2026. Its value is £107,929.68 excluding VAT and £129,515.62 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The opportunity was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive scoring basis or other award criteria are stated.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of lighting equipment and electric lamps serving university estates or comparable public-sector requirements. A competitor would need a product range capable of supporting lighting replacement projects, reliable supply arrangements and the operational capacity to fulfil a defined equipment requirement within a short delivery window. The buyer used a below-threshold direct-award route without competition, showing that suitable suppliers may be identified through procurement routes other than an open tender. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist lighting businesses and mission-led suppliers are relevant comparators when preparing for similar requirements from the University of Bedfordshire.
