Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned electrical works at Mark Way School to replace the existing main panel board with a new MCCB panel board and migrate the existing electrical circuits onto it. The requirement is classified as electrical installation work and concerns practical electrical infrastructure rather than design, consultancy or routine maintenance. The work is associated with the school and is procured by the council as the public-sector buyer. The selected contractor, RIGFONE ELECTRICS LIMITED, is based in Southampton. Businesses with experience of electrical installation in education or other occupied public buildings, including distribution-board replacement and circuit migration, would find the requirement most relevant. The work is a single package covering the panel-board replacement and associated circuit migration.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure under a framework, with the procurement described as below threshold; the award was non-competitive. The single package was awarded to RIGFONE ELECTRICS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 24 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £18,598 excluding VAT, or £22,317 including VAT. The contract is active. The stated evaluation basis is the framework award route rather than a competition for this requirement. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The process therefore records an awarded short-duration electrical works contract rather than an opportunity still progressing towards selection.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that Hampshire County Council buys specialist electrical works for schools through a framework route and can place focused, short-duration assignments for distribution-board replacement. A credible supplier would need competent electricians able to replace a main panel board with an MCCB panel board, safely migrate existing circuits, manage isolation and testing, and complete work in a school environment. Relevant experience should include electrical installation, low-voltage distribution equipment, planned shutdowns, commissioning and clear records of testing and handover. Framework access and the ability to respond to below-threshold call-offs would be commercially important. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a focused electrical contractor with suitable capacity can undertake this type of council requirement without being a large national business.
