Summary of the contracting process

Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited procured electrical authorising engineer services, including the performance of authorising engineer duties and support for project-specific works. This is specialist engineering advice and consultancy for electrical safety and engineering assurance. The work relates to the buyer’s operations in the Huddersfield area. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and linked to a framework agreement. The selected supplier, Eta Projects Limited, is based in London. The service supports safe and continuous delivery of the buyer’s operations through engineering oversight and project support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Eta Projects Limited. The buyer used a limited procedure without a prior competition, citing unforeseen circumstances and an urgent operational need: a competitive exercise could not be completed in time to maintain safe and continuous service delivery. The award was made on price. The single lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, although an active award and active contract are recorded for the selected supplier. The contract was signed on 20 March 2026 and has a recorded value of £260,000. No contract start or end date is recorded, so its duration cannot be stated. One bid was recorded.

This award shows demand from Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited for specialist electrical authorising engineer capacity, including ongoing authorising engineer duties and support connected with specific projects. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need demonstrable electrical engineering expertise, the ability to discharge the authorising engineer role, and capacity to provide responsive project support while helping maintain safe, continuous operations. The buyer’s stated reason for the direct award makes operational responsiveness particularly relevant: a supplier would need to show it can meet urgent requirements without compromising service continuity. The award was evaluated on price, so clear, competitive pricing would also matter. The work was procured as one lot through a framework arrangement; this indicates a requirement suited to a supplier able to cover the overall service rather than a separately awarded component.
