Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Clyde College appointed a primary supplier or contractor for high-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution equipment for its HV Training and Test Centre. The requirement covers supply, delivery, positioning, testing, inspection and associated documentation. The equipment is intended for high-voltage training, safe switching instruction, protection awareness, distribution-system simulation, transformer and feeder demonstrations, fault diagnostics and system integration. The facility will support advanced electrical engineering education for land-based and offshore wind energy systems, including training aligned with awarding body specifications and industry standards. Delivery and installation are at Glasgow Clyde College’s Cardonald Campus, 690 Mosspark Drive, Glasgow. This is a goods procurement involving specialist electrical equipment and related installation, testing and inspection services.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single-lot open procedure. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Trefoil Energy Systems Ltd was awarded the contract on 1 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The awarded and contract value is £172,000. The contract period is 1,080 days, with electronic ordering and payment available and electronic invoicing allowed. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days and could include variants. Evaluation required relevant supplies or services delivered during the previous three years, with economic checks covering employer’s, public and product liability insurance of £5 million each, plus commercial motor vehicle third-party insurance. The procurement allowed for further equipment to be purchased.

This requirement suits specialist electrical engineering suppliers, system integrators and contractors able to provide distribution equipment as a complete managed package, from sourcing through delivery, positioning, testing and inspection. Credible competitors would need demonstrable experience supplying comparable equipment to public or private-sector customers, and the capacity to support training environments involving high-voltage switching, protection, transformers, feeders and simulated operating conditions. Required credentials included NICEIC, CHAS or SafeContractor, alongside ISO 14001 or an environmental management policy. Quality capability included ISO 9001 or equivalent and BS EN 12766-1 or ISO 16000-6, with manufacturers’ declarations confirming PCB absence and supporting test certification. Suppliers should also be able to manage subcontracting transparently and maintain the specified insurance cover.
