Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process revolves around the Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which has completed the tender for the provision of a power supply needed to support a new Community Diagnostic Centre building. This procurement falls under the industry category of electricity supply installations, with UK Power Networks awarded the contract to upgrade the area's power infrastructure. The tender utilised a direct procurement method as part of a single tender action below the threshold, given UK Power Networks' exclusive role as the Distribution Network Operator in the geographical area. The relevant procurement stage is the award stage, with the key contract period set from 26th January 2026 to 26th February 2026. The opportunity's value is approximately GBP 115,836.74. The procurement location covers multiple regions, including the United Kingdom and other specified areas.

This tender presents a restricted opportunity primarily due to the specialised nature of the infrastructure required, limiting potential suppliers to UK Power Networks due to their unique position as the sole Distribution Network Operator. Though the direct procurement method does not open this tender to competitive bidding by small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, businesses with expertise in power supply and relevant infrastructure initiatives might consider future opportunities with the Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, especially where network upgrade capabilities are crucial elements of the project requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of power supply

Notice Description

The Trust is undertaking the construction of a new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) Building, which requires an upgraded power supply to support its operations. The waiver was required because additional power can only be provided by UK Power Networks (UKPN), as they are the sole Distribution Network Operator (DNO) responsible for the electrical infrastructure in our geographical area. UKPN holds an exclusive statutory role in providing network upgrades, meaning no alternative suppliers can be considered.
