UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council commissioned works to upgrade the existing electrical supply at Mayfield School’s Chestnut Site. The requirement is electrical installation work, covering the site’s supply infrastructure rather than general building services. Delivery is associated with the Mayfield School Chestnut Site in the Torbay Council area. The council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the requirement. The named work category is electrical supply upgrade and electrical installation. The procurement concerns a single completed requirement for the school site, with the work linked to the electrical installation classification CPV 45310000. This is relevant to electrical contractors, electricity network operators and businesses with experience of upgrading or connecting electrical supplies for public buildings and education sites.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 26 February 2026 and awarded to National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) PLC. The award date is not stated separately, but the selected supplier and active award are recorded. The contract is valued at £27,210.02 excluding VAT, or £32,652.02 including VAT. Its stated delivery period runs from 28 July 2026 to 18 August 2026. There was one lot, covering the electrical supply upgrade at Mayfield School’s Chestnut Site. The tender and lot are recorded as complete, while the contract and award are recorded as active. The process was below threshold and used no competitive tender.

This award shows that Torbay Council buys targeted electrical infrastructure works for education premises, using a direct below-threshold route where the requirement is suitable for that approach. A future competitor would need credible capability in electrical supply upgrades and installation work, including the practical ability to work on an existing school-site supply rather than only undertake new-build electrical installations. Relevant suppliers include electricity distribution businesses, electrical engineering contractors and specialist firms able to manage supply infrastructure works in a live public-building environment. Evidence of safe delivery, competent technical staff, coordination with a school and council, and experience of comparable public-sector electrical upgrades would help establish credibility. The requirement is compact and site-specific, so businesses suited to focused works packages may be better placed than large general contractors.
