## Summary

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council commissioned replacement of the normal and emergency light fittings on the seventh floor of its Civic Centre with LED fittings and improved controls, intended to improve energy efficiency and cost effectiveness. This is electrical installation work: removal and replacement of existing lighting, including emergency lighting, and installation of control improvements. The work is at the Civic Centre in Southend-on-Sea. The requirement is a defined building-services upgrade rather than a wider lighting programme, and is relevant to electrical contractors with experience in commercial or public buildings and the installation of emergency lighting and control systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MDE Power Ltd. The award was made on 5 October 2026 for £31,803.21. The contract period runs from 22 August to 22 October 2026. The council procured the works through a selective call-off from its TC-14 framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026. The requirement was presented as a single floor-level lighting replacement, with no lots recorded. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are published in the available process data, so the award basis cannot be characterised beyond the recorded selection and framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates a specific Southend-on-Sea Borough Council requirement for upgrading existing public-building lighting: replacing both normal and emergency fittings with LED units and improving controls. For a supplier seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer, relevant capability would include electrical installation in occupied civic or commercial buildings, safe removal and replacement of existing fittings, emergency-lighting provision and commissioning, and controls work that supports energy efficiency. The selected contractor was recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale of project was delivered by a smaller supplier. Suppliers already appointed to, or otherwise eligible to compete through, the council’s relevant framework route would be well placed for a comparable call-off; the procurement was not run as a standalone open competition.
