## Summary

Staffordshire County Council procured servicing and testing for its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The five-year service agreement covers the Council’s UPS equipment in Staffordshire. The requirement is tied to a closed-protocol system, which determines who can service and test it.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Riello UPS Ltd. Staffordshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 20 May 2031. Its value is £48,503 excluding VAT (£58,203 including VAT). The process was a single lot, and the tender was evaluated and completed as a service procurement. The requirement was for a five-year agreement covering UPS servicing and testing; the award relates to that same service.

This award demonstrates demand from Staffordshire County Council for ongoing maintenance and testing of its uninterruptible power supply systems. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to service the Council’s closed-protocol equipment, including the technical access and specialist knowledge that entails, and deliver both planned testing and maintenance over a multi-year agreement. Suppliers whose equipment access or service capability is restricted by the protocol may not be able to meet this requirement. The award went to Riello UPS Ltd, an SME, under a direct award without competition; this route reflects the stated closed-protocol constraint rather than an open competitive selection. Businesses with demonstrable capability on the relevant UPS systems and capacity to provide continuing service across Staffordshire are the closest fit.
