Public contracts won
Limbird Limited has one public sector contract award on record (2019). Source: Contracts Finder and Find a Tender award notices. For all of them the published figure is a shared or multi-year ceiling (a framework place, a multi-supplier award, or more than a small company could hold alone), so no value is shown. These were matched by the company's exact name because the notice gave no company number.
| Buyer | Contract | Value | Awarded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloucestershire County Council | Gloucestershire County Council's Minor Framework for Projects up to £15,000 | Ceiling, not shown | 29 Apr 2019 |

Filing notes for electrical contractors
Electrical contracting companies are often a director plus a van and tools. Most fall within the micro-entity rules, so the accounts filed at Companies House are short, and the CT600 carries the tax detail.
