## Summary

Bristol City Council has awarded a contract for the replacement of the UPS (uninterrupted power supply) system at City Hall. The project, classified under the industry category of Primary batteries (CPV code 31420000), is valued at £77,542. The procurement followed an open procedure, inviting specialist suppliers for quotations. The procurement process began with a tender that concluded on 4th November 2024, with the contract starting on 31st March 2025 and ending on 13th April 2025. The main procurement category is 'works', and the project is located in the United Kingdom. The award was officially made to Carter Sullivan Ltd on 18th December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in battery systems and related utilities. It is particularly suited for SMEs and suppliers capable of providing high-quality, specific equipment necessary for critical infrastructure. Companies experienced in power supply solutions, especially those with expertise in large-scale battery replacements and back-up systems, will find this contract beneficial for business growth. The successful completion of such a contract with a reputable municipal body like Bristol City Council can also enhance a company's profile and open doors for more public procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The UPS (uniterupted power supply) system at City Hall is essentially a large battery back up that keeps the data centre operational in the event of a mains power failure until the back up generator starts up and takes over, therefore this spend is essential. The system is over 15 yrs old and is in urgent need of replacement. As a specific type of equiptment we are wanting to get quotations from chosen specialist suppiers to replace.
