Summary of the contracting process

Curo Places Limited, based in Bath, has procured services for the visual and electrical inspection of streetlights. The requirement falls within street-lighting maintenance services and concerns the inspection of existing lighting infrastructure rather than the supply of new equipment or construction works. The appointed supplier, Select Electrics Limited, is an SME based in Bristol. The work relates to Curo Places’ streetlight assets and is delivered in the South West of England. Businesses with expertise in streetlight inspection, electrical testing, fault identification and maintenance support would recognise this as a public-sector housing and property organisation’s operational lighting requirement. The procurement covers one lot and is focused on recurring inspection and compliance activity for streetlights.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Curo Places Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Select Electrics Limited was appointed as supplier. The contract was signed and awarded on 9 September 2026, runs from 9 September 2026 to 9 September 2028, and has a gross value of £94,504. The contract is active. Its agreed performance measures cover work completed within target, compliance with approved variations and accident frequency rate, with each measure reviewed monthly. The published outcome records one completed lot and one active award. This was not a competed tender, so the route used was a below-threshold award without a bidding process.

This award demonstrates demand from Curo Places Limited for specialist streetlight inspection delivered through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in visual inspection and electrical inspection of streetlights, together with the competence to identify defects and support maintenance decisions across an operational asset base. The buyer’s performance measures indicate that suppliers must organise work reliably, complete inspections within agreed targets, control and document variations, and monitor workforce safety through accident-frequency reporting. Monthly review of these measures points to the need for dependable scheduling, clear records, responsive contract management and consistent health-and-safety controls. An SME electrical contractor with relevant street-lighting maintenance experience and capacity to cover South West sites would be well placed to demonstrate suitability when this requirement is next considered.
