Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured electrical installation work for the Warren Court New Mains Switch Panel Project, classified under CPV 45310000. The requirement concerns a new mains switch panel and associated construction-related electrical works at Warren Court in the AL10 8YE area. The buying organisation is based in Welwyn Garden City and operates as an NHS foundation trust. This is a services procurement focused on electrical installation and infrastructure works rather than the supply of standalone electrical equipment. It is relevant to contractors with experience delivering mains electrical installations and construction works in healthcare or other operational public-sector buildings, particularly where work must be coordinated safely around an occupied estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ashe Construction Limited on 7 September 2026. The award value is £490,000. The estimated procurement range was £470,000 to £490,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from the SBS/18/DT/PZC/9332 PS-Works: Public Sector Construction Works framework, Lot 2, using a framework direct award route. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The recorded procurement category is services, and the award is active. The selected supplier is Ashe Construction Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust for substantial mains electrical infrastructure work within its estate. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in electrical installation, mains switch panels and associated construction works, with sufficient resources to deliver a concentrated project safely and reliably. Experience of working in healthcare premises or other live public-sector environments would support confidence in managing access, safety, coordination and continuity of building operations. The buyer used a public-sector construction works framework and a direct call-off route, so suppliers seeking similar work would benefit from understanding framework-based purchasing and meeting the technical and organisational requirements for that route. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating a need for established delivery capacity.
