Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned LED lighting works at Ysgol Garth Olwg. The requirement is to upgrade the school’s lighting to LED; the procurement also classifies the work under construction and engineering-related services. Delivery is in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. This is a school-specific project rather than a general lighting supply requirement, so relevant businesses are electrical contractors able to undertake lighting installation work in an educational building.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to GMI Electrical Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £57,887.32 excluding VAT (£69,464.78 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published process information identifies no evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described.

This award shows Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council’s demand for school LED lighting upgrades, delivered as a defined electrical works project. Businesses well placed for similar requirements will have practical capability in LED lighting installation and the electrical expertise to deliver work in an occupied or operational school setting. The award went to GMI Electrical Ltd, an established larger supplier, indicating that a contractor able to take responsibility for a complete, site-specific installation was selected. Electrical firms with relevant school or public-building project experience, suitable installation capacity and the ability to coordinate works around the needs of a school would be credible competitors for this buyer’s comparable requirement.
