## Summary

The University of Keele procured lighting upgrade works for the Lindsay S and T Blocks on its university campus in Keele, Staffordshire. The requirement covered electrical installation work, including upgrades to lighting systems in the two named blocks. It was a works contract managed by the university as buyer. The procurement formed part of Project ID 4965 and was run through the Matrix – Ealing Procurement Framework. The arrangement was a mini-competition under that framework, so it was aimed at suppliers able to provide the relevant electrical installation works through the framework’s established purchasing route. The delivery location is associated with the university campus in Keele, Staffordshire, near the university’s procurement office and wider science and innovation park.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Matrix SCM Limited on 15 July 2026 for £43,962.31 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 3 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the awarded contract covers the Lindsay S and T Blocks lighting upgrades. No lots or separate awards are identified, so the stated value and period apply to the requirement as a whole.

For an electrical contractor, this award provides a clear indication of the University of Keele’s demand for building lighting upgrade works and the scale of a discrete campus installation project. Relevant suppliers would need practical capability in electrical installation and lighting upgrades, with the capacity to complete work within a short, defined programme in an occupied university environment. Experience coordinating works across named campus buildings would help demonstrate credibility, alongside suitable project management, site safety and quality-control arrangements. The procurement also shows that the university uses a selective mini-competition route through the Matrix – Ealing Procurement Framework, so future competitors would need either the relevant framework position or a route into comparable framework opportunities.
