## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire procured lighting replacement projects, classified as the supply of lighting equipment and electric lamps (CPV 31500000). The requirement covers one completed lot and relates to replacing lighting across the university’s facilities. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at University Square, Luton. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or professional services contract. The selected supplier, HACEL LIGHTING LIMITED, is a UK small and medium-sized enterprise and voluntary, community or social enterprise. Businesses active in commercial lighting supply, lighting product manufacture, distribution or replacement programmes would be the closest fit for this requirement and the buyer’s future needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. HACEL LIGHTING LIMITED received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £107,929.68 excluding VAT, or £129,515.62 including VAT. The published procurement information records the tender as complete and the award and contract as active. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct route, so no comparative award criteria or tender competition is recorded. This outcome identifies the buyer’s immediate purchasing route for a defined lighting replacement requirement rather than an open opportunity for further bids.

This award indicates demand from the University of Bedfordshire for a substantial, defined lighting replacement supply package delivered within a short implementation window. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable lighting equipment and electric lamps at comparable scale, manage procurement and delivery across the buyer’s facilities, and support an organised replacement programme. Relevant strengths would include a dependable product range, technical knowledge of commercial lighting, reliable stock or manufacturing capacity, and experience supplying institutional or estate customers. Suppliers should also be able to handle below-threshold public-sector purchasing processes and present a clear, efficient route for direct engagement where the buyer uses that approach. The awarded supplier’s SME status shows that the requirement can be met by a specialist smaller business.
