## Summary

The City of Liverpool College commissioned the further hire of temporary generators to support the teaching environment at its Construction Hub in Liverpool. The requirement is for generator provision rather than permanent installation or construction works. It is classified as the supply of generators, with delivery in Liverpool. The procurement is an additional requirement following an earlier temporary generator hire. The buyer is a public further-education college. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of that scale could provide a relevant benchmark for future requirements, although the selected supplier is a large company. The work is therefore relevant to generator hire businesses, temporary power providers and companies able to support operational education or construction environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot covered the generator hire. W B POWER SERVICES LIMITED was selected as supplier. The award value is £32,310 excluding VAT, or £38,772 including VAT; these figures relate to this award only. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than an open tender, so there was no competitive bidding stage for suppliers to enter. The award concerns further additional generator hires for the Construction Hub and follows an earlier transparency notice published in November 2025. The award record identifies generators as the procured goods.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of temporary generators and associated hire services serving education and construction settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement from The City of Liverpool College would need to provide reliable temporary power for a teaching environment at a Construction Hub, arrange delivery in Liverpool and support the equipment throughout the required hire period. The requirement demonstrates demand for additional generator capacity after an earlier hire, so suppliers should be able to handle extensions or further units alongside an existing operational arrangement. The successful supplier is a large business, while the lot was considered suitable for SMEs, suggesting that smaller hire companies with dependable generator stock, responsive logistics and experience supporting temporary operational sites could be relevant competitors when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
