## Summary

Hampshire County Council commissioned specialist electrical testing and analysis of consumer products to support its product-enforcement work. The requirement is for technical testing services, supplied on an ad hoc, as-needed basis rather than as a single defined testing programme. The work concerns electrical consumer products and is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist service for organisations able to examine products and provide analytical testing relevant to enforcement decisions; the stated purpose is to help the council enforce requirements applying to consumer products.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CASS Industries Limited, an SME. Hampshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 1 May 2027. Its stated value is £34,000 excluding VAT and £40,800 including VAT. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering the electrical testing service as a whole. The published process data records no separate evaluation criteria; the contract was placed without a competitive assessment. The supplier is recorded as providing the service on demand, as individual requirements arise.

This award shows demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist electrical product testing to support enforcement, on an ad hoc basis. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need demonstrable capability to test and analyse electrical consumer products and produce findings useful to product-enforcement work. The work is suited to a specialist testing provider able to respond flexibly as requests arise, rather than relying on a fixed-volume programme. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business. Because this procurement was placed directly without competition, it does not establish a competitive scoring model or particular qualification thresholds; suppliers should focus on relevant technical expertise, dependable responsive capacity and evidence that their testing supports enforcement decisions.
