## Summary

Bath Spa University procured works to replace the Helvar lighting system serving the university’s commons and garden residents. The requirement is a building-installation project covering the removal and installation associated with the replacement lighting system, rather than general lighting supply alone. It is classified under CPV 50700000, covering repair and maintenance services for building installations, and is categorised as works. Delivery was in the South West of England. The buying organisation was Bath Spa University, based in Bath. The requirement was linked to the availability of the supplier’s equipment, indicating that compatibility with the existing Helvar system and the practical delivery of replacement lighting within the university’s occupied estate were central to the work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bath Spa University used a direct award through a single tender action below the threshold, with the stated reason being the supplier’s equipment. The tender deadline was 27 July 2023, and the contract was awarded to Mannings Facilities Management Limited on 28 July 2023. The awarded value was £78,451.20. The contract ran from 28 July 2023 to 12 January 2024. The award was active. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The evaluation route was therefore direct selection rather than competition between bids. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need demonstrable capability in commercial building-installation works, particularly lighting-system replacement and maintenance. Experience of working with Helvar equipment, or evidence of being able to source and install compatible equipment, would be important because equipment availability was the stated reason for the direct award. Suppliers should also be able to manage installation in a university environment, including coordination around shared commons areas and residential or garden-related facilities. The previous contract was delivered by a large facilities-management company, indicating that the buyer valued an established organisation able to provide an integrated facilities service rather than a simple product-only supply. Relevant technical staff, installation capacity and experience of delivering comparable institutional projects would strengthen a future proposition.
