Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Pirbright Institute, a sub-central government public authority located in Woking, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Supply and fit Plowright East Wing Emergency lighting batteries and removal and dispose of 80 defective batteries," falls under the industry category of goods, specifically electric filament lamps. The process reached the Award stage, with the contract signed on 19th May 2026 and covering a period from 8th June to 6th July 2026. This procurement was executed through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value, and UPS Systems PLC was identified as the supplier.

This tender represents a pertinent opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical supplies and emergency lighting solutions, particularly those holding expertise in complete system overhauls rather than piecemeal battery replacements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply and fit Plowright East Wing Emergency lighting batteries and removal and dispose of 80 defective batteries.

Notice Description

Replacement of all 80 emergency light batteries. Because when single batteries are replaced the new batteries do not bring the whole system up to the required duration but rather the old batteries drag down the single new batteries down to their life span thus delaying the inevitable failure of the new batteries so effectively a false economy in time/money and putting the building at risk.
