## Summary

This completed works contract covered critical electrical infrastructure upgrades at Grays Police Station in Essex. The scope included electrical supply installations and associated electrical equipment, custody-area fire alarms, emergency lighting, suspended ceilings and corridor lighting, together with resurfacing of the station car park. The main work category was building and electrical infrastructure works, including alarm installation and building completion services. The buying organisation was 7 Force Commercial Services, acting for the police estate requirement at Grays Police Station. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is relevant to contractors able to combine electrical, life-safety, building-fabric and external surfacing capabilities on an operational police site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Beardwell Construction Limited on 4 February 2026 for £1,437,083.54 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 9 February 2026 to 4 September 2026. The selected supplier is an SME. The requirement was treated as works rather than goods or services, with electrical infrastructure and lighting as the primary classification and alarm installation, electricity supply installations and building completion as additional classifications. The award is active, and the procurement record identifies the work as a single combined requirement for Grays Police Station rather than separate awarded lots.

For a supplier assessing future police-estate requirements, this award demonstrates demand for coordinated building works in a live or operational station environment, combining critical electrical upgrades with custody fire-alarm systems, emergency lighting, suspended ceilings, corridor lighting and car-park resurfacing. A credible competitor would need practical competence across electrical installation, testing and commissioning, fire and life-safety systems, internal building finishes and external surfacing, or the ability to manage capable specialist subcontractors. Experience of working safely around police facilities, maintaining continuity of essential services and coordinating several trades would strengthen a future proposition. The route to market also indicates that access to an appropriate framework, together with the capacity to deliver a substantial multi-discipline package, is commercially relevant.
