## Summary

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured replacement switchgear for Hay Mills Fire Station. This is an electrical engineering and equipment replacement requirement, centred on removing and replacing the station’s switchgear. The named site is Hay Mills Fire Station; the contract data also lists delivery across England, without identifying further specific sites. Switchgear is equipment used to control and protect electrical power systems, so relevant suppliers are those able to undertake this type of replacement work for a fire and rescue authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MIDWEST MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES LIMITED, a Wolverhampton-based supplier. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 5 September 2026 to 3 March 2027. Its gross value is £62,586. The requirement was procured below the public procurement threshold; the stated procedure detail does not identify a specific method. It was a single-lot procurement, now complete. The award is active, and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for switchgear replacement at a fire station, bought by West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority, and shows that the work was delivered through a below-threshold procurement. A credible competitor for similar future work would need practical capability in electrical switchgear replacement and the capacity to carry out work at an operational fire station. Experience planning and completing equipment replacement safely in a live public-service setting would be relevant. The selected supplier is based in Wolverhampton and is classed as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor was able to win this requirement. Suppliers whose work is limited to supplying equipment, without the capability to undertake the replacement, may be less well matched to the stated scope.
