UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter bought 40 Sunstream MK2 600W KP04 four-channel lighting systems, including DALI controllability and integration with the university’s existing building management system (BMS). The requirement covered the supply, delivery and installation of lighting systems at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus. This is a goods procurement focused on specialist lighting equipment and associated installation and controls integration. The buyer is the University of Exeter, a public authority. The work therefore suits suppliers able to provide the specified Sunstream lighting system, arrange delivery to the Penryn Campus and complete installation and integration with an established BMS environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Kroptek Ltd. The University of Exeter used a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026, with a contract period from 2 May 2026 to 2 May 2027. Its value is £44,765.71 excluding VAT, or £53,718.84 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the lighting system requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published award information identifies lighting systems as the relevant classification. The outcome shows that the buyer selected a single supplier for the supply, delivery, installation and controls-integration requirement.

For a supplier assessing future work with the University of Exeter, this procurement demonstrates demand for a defined, specialist lighting package rather than general electrical supplies. A credible competitor would need to source or supply Sunstream MK2 600W KP04 four-channel units, provide 40 matching systems, and manage delivery and installation at the Penryn Campus. Technical capability should include configuring DALI controllability and integrating lighting controls with an existing building management system. Relevant delivery and installation experience, competent project coordination, and the capacity to handle a multi-unit campus requirement would strengthen a future offer. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement was suited to an established specialist with sufficient operational capacity.
