Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned an internal and external lighting upgrade at Block 9 of Chilcomb House. The works replace existing fluorescent luminaires with more efficient fittings, using the existing wiring infrastructure. The installation scope includes containment, the lighting system, earthing, testing, commissioning and certification, to deliver a complete working system. This is an electrical installation project for a council building, with delivery in Hampshire. Suppliers whose work covers building lighting upgrades and electrical installation would recognise the core requirement; the scope combines fitting replacement with the associated electrical works and verification needed to put the system into service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to B F Keane Electrical Contractors Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The council used a selective route below the procurement threshold, making the award under a framework; the call-off was not competitive. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 28 September to 16 October 2026. Its stated value is £29,454 excluding VAT, or £35,345 including VAT. The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the Block 9 lighting works. No evaluation criteria or award weighting are stated in the available process information.

This award shows Hampshire County Council buying a compact, site-specific building lighting upgrade through a framework rather than a competitive call-off. For suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement when it next reaches the market, credibility rests on delivering electrical installation work across both internal and external areas, replacing fluorescent fittings with more efficient luminaires while making use of existing wiring. The awarded scope also demonstrates the need to manage containment and earthing, then test, commission and certify a complete working system. The selected supplier was an electrical contractor, so firms with comparable installation capability and the capacity to complete a contained council-building project would be closest to the demonstrated requirement. Framework participation is relevant to this buyer’s route for this award.
