UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trafford College procured emergency lighting testing and maintenance services for the Trafford and Stockport College Group. The requirement covers the routine testing and maintenance of emergency lighting systems across the college group’s estate, classified as repair and maintenance services for electrical building installations (CPV 50711000). This is a facilities and electrical maintenance requirement rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project. The buyer is Trafford College, a public undertaking based in Manchester. The recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom, while the procurement title identifies Trafford and Stockport as the college locations covered by the requirement. Suppliers would need to provide practical inspection, testing and maintenance services for emergency lighting installations in an education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through below-threshold limited competition. B-ENGINEERING (NW) LTD was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 10 April 2026 and runs from 10 April 2026 to 9 April 2029. Its value is £102,744.80 excluding VAT, or £123,293.76 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement method was limited, with the procedure described as below-threshold limited competition. The available outcome records identify the service requirement and selected supplier, but do not publish a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria. The procurement therefore demonstrates a completed three-year service contract awarded through a restricted competitive route.

This procurement indicates established demand from a further-education college group for specialist emergency lighting testing and maintenance delivered over a sustained service period. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements would be electrical building-services contractors able to inspect, test, maintain and report on emergency lighting systems across college premises. Credibility would depend on demonstrable competence in electrical installation maintenance, dependable attendance across multiple education sites and the operational capacity to manage planned recurring visits alongside remedial work. Experience of working in occupied public or education buildings would strengthen a future response, particularly where safety, records and minimal disruption matter. Smaller electrical maintenance firms may also find this type of below-threshold limited competition commercially relevant if they can evidence the required service capability and local delivery capacity.
