Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is buying electrical materials and associated products, principally for its Estates Maintenance team, with other university departments able to use the supply as required. This is a supply of electrical goods and accessories for maintenance activity rather than a defined installation project. Deliveries are required across the university’s campus locations in Nottingham. The requirement is for materials to be supplied when needed across those sites, supporting ongoing estate maintenance. Suppliers dealing in electrical supplies for institutional or multi-site customers are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Rexel UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is active, with a value of £300,000. The tender was conducted through a limited procedure without a published competition, using the Efficiency East Midlands framework; the university stated this was compliant with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. One lot covered the supply across campus locations and was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement record identifies the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award demonstrates a recurring requirement at Nottingham Trent University for electrical materials and related products to support Estates Maintenance across multiple campus sites, with other departments also able to draw on the supply. A credible future competitor would need a dependable range of electrical supplies and accessories, the ability to fulfil varied requirements as they arise, and distribution capacity serving university locations in Nottingham. The buyer used a public-sector framework route and evaluated the requirement on price, so suppliers would need to be able to compete commercially within an established framework arrangement. The selected supplier was a large electrical wholesaler, indicating that established supply capability and the capacity to support a multi-site institutional customer were relevant to delivery.
