UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council bought lighting equipment for the new Hemel Gateway signage at Maylands. The requirement is for street-lighting equipment associated with the installation of this gateway signage. The buyer is the council, and the delivery location is in Hertfordshire. This is a focused supply requirement rather than a broader street-lighting works programme: the stated purpose is to illuminate the new signage. The procurement comprised one lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to B-A-R Electrical & Mechanical Services Ltd, a Hemel Hempstead supplier. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award date is not separately stated; the contract was signed on 29 September 2026. The contract period runs from 30 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £33,516.52 excluding VAT and £40,219.82 including VAT. The single lot is complete, and the contract is active. No evaluation basis is stated.

For suppliers of electrical and mechanical services or street-lighting equipment, this award shows Dacorum Borough Council’s demand for specialist lighting to support public-facing gateway signage in Hemel Hempstead. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to source and supply suitable street-lighting equipment and understand how lighting can serve a signage installation, rather than offering general lighting products without this application knowledge. The selected supplier is a local small business, indicating that a focused SME was able to fulfil this modest, site-specific requirement. The council used a direct award without competition for this purchase; the award therefore demonstrates the buyer’s route on this occasion, not a competitive evaluation standard or a general qualification threshold for suppliers.
