Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for providing High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage (LV) Authorising Engineer services, along with annual audits for the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, has reached the award stage. This contract, classified under advisory and consultative engineering services, serves the South West region of the United Kingdom. The process had its tender period closing on 15th September 2025, and the contract itself is set to run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. The procurement method used was categorised as "Other," indicating a bespoke or less standard form of procurement.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical engineering consultancy, particularly those adept in ensuring compliance with relevant electrical safety standards. Despite the award to Electrical Safety Consultants Ltd, other firms in this area can anticipate similar opportunities arising in public sector tenders as institutions increasingly outsource specialised services. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in advisory and consultative engineering services would be well-positioned to compete for such tenders, especially those not necessarily identified as small or medium-sized enterprises (SME) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), given the suitability criteria outlined for this contract.
