## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire procured lighting replacement projects for its estate. The requirement covers the supply of lighting equipment and electric lamps, classified under CPV 31500000, to support replacement works. The buyer is the University of Bedfordshire, a public undertaking based in Luton. The procurement covers one requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a goods opportunity rather than a standalone consultancy, construction or maintenance service. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist suppliers of commercial lighting products able to support replacement projects for a university environment. The named requirement is “Lighting replacement projects”, relating specifically to the University of Bedfordshire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. A single lot was completed, and HACEL LIGHTING LIMITED was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026. The award value is £107,929.68 excluding VAT and £129,515.62 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The award is active, and the procurement is recorded as a completed process. The published approach means suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender for this requirement. The outcome shows a direct purchase of lighting goods for the University of Bedfordshire, with the selected supplier responsible for the awarded requirement during the stated contract period.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the University of Bedfordshire for commercial lighting replacement goods at a substantial project scale. A future competitor would need reliable access to suitable lighting equipment and electric lamps, together with the operational capacity to supply a university requirement and support a concentrated replacement programme. The awarded supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise and is identified as a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the buyer’s requirement was capable of being met by a smaller specialist business. Relevant firms should therefore be able to demonstrate product range, dependable fulfilment, project-scale stock or sourcing arrangements, and experience supplying institutional or estate-wide lighting replacements through a direct-award route where permitted.
