## Summary

The University of Sunderland procured the design, supply and installation of high-efficiency LED lighting and lighting control systems. The work replaces existing fluorescent fittings with more efficient equipment and includes both electrical installation and controls integration. This is a lighting equipment and electrical lamps requirement (CPV 31500000), classified as goods but involving substantial installation services. Delivery and installation are in the North East of England, with the buyer based in Sunderland. The requirement is relevant to electrical contractors, commercial lighting specialists, LED manufacturers and suppliers, and firms able to manage design, equipment supply, installation and commissioning as a combined service. It is also suitable for businesses experienced in upgrading lighting systems in institutional or educational buildings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, through the Northeast University Purchasing Consortium framework for mechanical and electrical services, electrical works lot 2a in the North East. The award was made to Fortify Electrical Services Limited, an SME, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract value is £161,084.26. The tender was evaluated on quality at 65% and cost at 35%. One bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled in the procurement record, while the associated award is active and the contract is active. The contract period is not stated.

This procurement demonstrates a defined institutional demand for complete LED retrofit projects rather than equipment supply alone. A credible future competitor would need to combine lighting design, high-efficiency LED product knowledge, control-system integration, electrical installation and commissioning. The evaluation weighting shows that quality was more important than cost, so evidence of technically sound designs, reliable equipment, installation planning and effective controls should strengthen a future response. The awarded supplier's SME status indicates that a smaller specialist can compete where it can demonstrate the required capability and capacity. Suppliers should also understand how to access and operate through the relevant Northeast University Purchasing Consortium electrical works framework, since that route was used for this requirement.
