Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured urgent refurbishment and building installation works within the force estate, intended to facilitate the advancement of operational projects. The work is associated with public-sector operational buildings in County Durham. The requirement covers building installation activity rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine professional services. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, based at Police Headquarters in Durham. The selected supplier, Maval Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Company Limited, is based in Middlesbrough and was involved as the contractor for this requirement. The work is therefore relevant to building services contractors, refurbishment specialists and electrical or mechanical engineering businesses able to operate across County Durham and support operational estate projects.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure with a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition; the stated rationale was that the procurement fell outside the scope of the relevant directive. The requirement was evaluated on price, and one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 with Maval Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Company Limited for £210,959.38. The contract is active. The single lot was described as a direct award and is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. The contracting authority is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham. The award relates to the refurbishment and building installation requirement for the force estate.

This award demonstrates demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham for urgent, building-based refurbishment that supports operational estate projects. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible building installation and refurbishment capability, with the ability to coordinate works in operational public-sector premises and respond to urgent requirements. Relevant businesses are likely to include contractors able to deliver electrical, mechanical or other building-services installation as part of a wider refurbishment package. The recorded route was a direct award rather than an openly competed tender, and the successful supplier was a large engineering company, indicating that proven delivery capacity and the ability to handle a substantial single requirement may matter. Firms should understand the authority’s operational estate needs and demonstrate dependable project delivery in County Durham.
