UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned electrical installation works at Chalk Ridge Primary School: upgrading the main distribution board and sub-distribution boards. The work is intended to maintain the power supply to existing essential services while the equipment is upgraded. Delivery is in Hampshire, England. This is a school electrical-infrastructure requirement, relevant to electrical contractors with experience in switchgear and distribution-board upgrades in operational buildings, where essential services must remain supplied during works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to A.J. Taylor Electrical Contractors Limited. The council used a selective route to award the work under an existing framework, below the public procurement threshold; the call-off was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 26 October to 2 November 2026. Its value is £29,755 excluding VAT (£35,706 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the school’s main switchgear and sub-main distribution-board upgrade. The published procurement data does not state the evaluation criteria or explain how the supplier was selected.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for electrical contractors able to upgrade main switchgear and sub-distribution boards in a school while keeping essential services supplied. A credible supplier for similar work would need relevant installation capability, practical experience working safely around live or operational building services, and the planning and coordination needed to maintain continuity during the upgrade. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist contractor. The work was placed under a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would benefit from eligibility for relevant frameworks as well as a track record in school electrical infrastructure.
