Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured emergency high-voltage electrical infrastructure support for its hospital estate. The requirement is a specialist electrical infrastructure service, covering urgent support for high-voltage systems and associated building consultancy services (CPV 71315200). Delivery is in the West Hertfordshire area, including the Trust’s facilities in and around Watford and the wider East of England region. The buyer is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The work is classified as a service rather than goods or construction works, and is intended to support the continuity and safe operation of the Trust’s high-voltage electrical infrastructure during emergency situations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 April 2026 to Eta Projects Limited. The award value is £32,000, against an estimated range of £30,000 to £32,000. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 August 2027. It was a selective procurement using a direct call-off from the SBS HPCCAS framework, reference SBS10190, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 6 April 2026 at 12:00. The selected supplier is Eta Projects Limited. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through the framework call-off route, with the procurement recorded as a completed services contract for the NHS Trust.

This award indicates a defined requirement for emergency high-voltage electrical infrastructure support within an NHS hospital environment. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in high-voltage electrical systems, rapid response to urgent infrastructure issues, and the ability to work safely around operational healthcare facilities. Experience supporting critical public-sector or healthcare estates would help demonstrate understanding of continuity, safety and access constraints. The buyer used a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would also need access to the applicable SBS HPCCAS framework or an equivalent route in any later procurement. The stated suitability assessment did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
