Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned works at various properties to replace distribution boards and rewire electrical installations, using new mineral-insulated copper-clad cable (MICC) alongside PVC cabling. The requirement falls within electrical installation work and is classified as works rather than goods or a consultancy service. Delivery is in Hampshire, supporting the council’s property estate. The work is relevant to electrical contractors with practical experience of distribution-board replacement, rewiring and associated installation activities in occupied or operational public-sector properties. It may suit businesses that can manage multiple property locations and coordinate electrical works with the council’s estate requirements. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive selective process under a framework, using a below-threshold award route. It had one completed lot. Hampshire County Council signed the contract on 20 August 2026 and awarded it to Ventro Ltd. The award is active, with a contract value of £114,447 excluding VAT, or £137,336 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The selected supplier is Ventro Ltd, a Plymouth-based SME. The award covers the electrical installation works described above. The process was conducted competitively within the framework rather than as an open tender.

This award is useful market evidence for electrical contractors tracking Hampshire County Council’s property-maintenance demand. A credible future competitor would need to deliver distribution-board replacements and complete rewiring, including work involving MICC and PVC cable systems, across more than one property. The requirement indicates demand for practical electrical installation capability, reliable project management and the ability to complete a short, defined programme of works through a framework route. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience in comparable building electrical works, coordinate site activity across the council estate and meet public-sector delivery and compliance expectations. Ventro Ltd’s selection shows that an SME electrical contractor can compete successfully for this type of council requirement.
