Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust procured electrical consultancy services for Substations 7 and 8. The work concerned construction consultancy, specifically electrical advice and support for NHS substation infrastructure. Delivery was in London, including the SE1 9RT area. The buying organisation was Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, a London NHS foundation trust. The requirement was a services contract rather than goods or construction works. It was delivered through the NHSSBS Consultancy and Advisory Services framework, indicating a specialist consultancy requirement connected with healthcare infrastructure. The selected provider, Eta Projects Limited, is an SME. The procurement was focused on electrical consultancy for two named substations, rather than a broad facilities-management or general engineering service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 February 2022 to Eta Projects Limited. The award value was £190,000. The contract ran from 1 February 2022 to 31 March 2025. The tender recorded an estimated value of £40,000 and a minimum value of £190,000. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 31 January 2022 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The published procurement category was services, with construction consultancy services as the classification. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a major NHS trust for specialist electrical consultancy supporting substation infrastructure. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in electrical engineering and construction consultancy, with experience of substations and the technical, safety and operational constraints of healthcare estates. Experience advising on multiple substations would be relevant, as would the capacity to support the buyer across a defined contract period and deliver robust technical advice in a live NHS environment. The route used here also shows the importance of access to the relevant consultancy framework and the ability to deliver a compliant framework call-off response. Eta Projects Limited's success indicates that an SME-sized specialist consultancy can meet this buyer's requirement.
