Summary of the contracting process

Bield Housing & Care procured works to supply and install replacement LED lighting across internal general communal areas and external areas, including emergency lighting. The work was to follow a provided design and specification. The buying organisation is Bield Housing & Care, based in Edinburgh. The requirement covers lighting replacement and installation rather than a supply-only purchase, and includes both ordinary communal lighting and emergency systems.

The procurement has been awarded to GA Helmore, and the contract is recorded as active. Six bids were received. The procurement used a quick quote process. No award value, award date or contract period is recorded in the available award and contract details. Bid statistics show valid bid values ranging from £166,835 to £294,508; these are bid figures, not the recorded value of the awarded contract. The published details give no lot breakdown, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the outcome cannot be linked to a particular lot or stated selection basis.

This award demonstrates demand from Bield Housing & Care for a contractor able to replace and install LED lighting across communal interiors and external areas, including emergency lighting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both standard and emergency lighting works to a defined design and specification, with the capacity to work across multiple shared and outdoor spaces. The mix of lighting systems makes relevant installation experience and the ability to coordinate a broad replacement programme important. GA Helmore was selected from six bidders, indicating competition for this requirement. Suppliers whose delivery model is limited to selling equipment, or to a single lighting type or location, would be less closely aligned with the scope.
