Summary of the contracting process

Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring electrical installation works at St Helier Hospital in England. The requirement is to design and replace electrical distribution board SP-3-3-21 in the A Block Lower Basement Plant Room, providing a complete operational installation (CPV 45317300). The works include surveys, circuit tracing, load monitoring, electrical design and coordination, protection studies, a new Form 4 compartmentalised panel board, a new outgoing protective device, approximately 50 metres of 120mm² four-core submain cable, containment, metering, cable terminations, earthing and bonding modifications, and circuit transfer. The contractor must remove the existing equipment, undertake building works and fire stopping, then test, commission, certify and hand over record drawings, asset information, operating documentation and training.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Tender submissions were due by 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled from 5 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. The estimated contract value is £150,000 including the stated currency. The procurement is classified as works and is identified primarily as electrical installation work for electrical distribution apparatus, with construction and general electrical installation as additional categories. Delivery is at St Helier Hospital. The tender requires work to be planned around an operational acute hospital, including shutdowns, circuit transfers and commissioning outside normal working hours where required. Temporary supplies and contingency arrangements must support continuity of clinical and operational services.

This opportunity suits an electrical contractor with experience designing, installing and commissioning low-voltage electrical distribution systems in complex operational environments. Relevant capability includes working with Form 4 panel boards, protection and discrimination coordination, submain cabling, metering, containment, earthing, testing and thermographic inspection. The successful contractor will need strong project management, supervision and coordination skills, including the ability to produce an Isolation Impact Assessment and detailed switching, shutdown, temporary-supply, contingency and rollback plans with the Trust’s electrical authorised person and clinical stakeholders. The work calls for labour, plant, materials, specialist attendance and temporary electrical infrastructure, potentially including generators, UPS systems and temporary distribution boards. The tender is identified as suitable for SMEs.
