Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured external and internal lighting upgrade works for the Jubilee Garden and adjacent areas. The requirement covered supplying, installing, testing and commissioning bollard luminaires, wall-mounted fittings, recessed lighting, LED strip lighting, control gear and associated electrical infrastructure. It also included replacing existing lighting, minor groundworks, waterproof electrical connections and commissioning the completed installation. This is an electrical and lighting installation project, classified under CPV 45316100, installation of outdoor illumination equipment. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The works concern the Jubilee Garden and nearby areas, with delivery in Somerset, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Purplelux Lighting Solutions Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and has a period from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £21,111.02 excluding VAT and £25,333.22 including VAT. The selected supplier is Purplelux Lighting Solutions Ltd. The award covered the complete lighting installation requirement, including the equipment, electrical infrastructure, installation works, testing and commissioning. The process used a single completed lot and direct award route rather than an open or competitive tender. No separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting is recorded for this award.

This award indicates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for suppliers able to deliver complete lighting upgrade projects rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in external and internal lighting installation, including bollard, wall-mounted, recessed and LED strip systems, control gear and associated electrical infrastructure. Experience should cover replacing existing fittings, carrying out minor groundworks, forming waterproof electrical connections, testing installations and commissioning completed systems. The work suits an established electrical or specialist lighting contractor able to coordinate equipment supply with site installation and verification. Relevant experience in healthcare or other occupied public-sector environments would help demonstrate the care, reliability and site-management capability needed for this type of trust requirement.
