Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wolverhampton sought commercial electrical and data installation daywork services across its campuses. The work covers electrical installation and repair and data installation, with the provider required to serve Walsall Campus in Walsall; Springfield Campus, City Campus and City Campus Halls Accommodation in Wolverhampton; and the University of Wolverhampton Science Park. The requirement is for a service provider able to undertake this work across all five sites, rather than a single-campus installation. The buyer is the University of Wolverhampton. The procurement was treated as a services contract, with electrical-system repair services identified as its classification.

The procurement was terminated on 28 September 2026, after evaluation but before any contract was signed. The University decided not to proceed because the published documents gave conflicting minimum annual turnover requirements: £10 million in the tender guidance and the mandatory pass/fail question, but £5 million in the scoring methodology. The open procedure had one lot, an estimated value of £5 million including tax, and an award decision dated 17 September 2026. Central Electrical Contracts Limited was named as the selected supplier for an award valued at £3 million, but that award was cancelled and no contract was entered into. Bids were assessed on quality (60%) and price (40%). The intended contract period was 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, to 30 September 2031.

This requirement demonstrates demand from the University of Wolverhampton for a contractor able to deliver commercial electrical and data installation daywork services across multiple campuses, including sites in both Wolverhampton and Walsall. A credible competitor would need the capacity to cover every site and the technical capability to carry out electrical installation and repair alongside data installation. The procurement used a quality-led evaluation, with quality weighted more heavily than price, so evidence of sound technical delivery would matter as well as competitive pricing. The stated selection conditions included a minimum annual turnover, a Credit Safe score of at least 30, and substantial public and products liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity insurance. The University said it intended to issue a replacement competitive tender with one clear, proportionate financial-standing requirement; the inconsistent turnover threshold in this terminated process should not be treated as the settled requirement.
