Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured solar photovoltaic panel installation and associated electrical works at Seward Lodge, Welwyn Garden City. The requirement is a works project to install solar PV equipment and complete the related electrical work at the site. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. This is a site-specific installation rather than a general supply of panels: suppliers need to be able to deliver the installation and associated electrical works together.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SMART ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES LTD. The award date was 21 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 30 March 2027. The awarded value is £58,000. The trust used a selective call-off from the GCA LVPS framework, so the competition was conducted through that framework rather than as an open tender. The estimated procurement range was £55,000 to £58,000. The procurement was classified as works, with solar panels as the stated subject. No lots are identified in the published process details.

This award demonstrates a buyer requirement for a supplier able to deliver solar PV installation alongside associated electrical works at an NHS site. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical capability across both the installation of solar panels and the electrical work needed to complete the project, together with the capacity to carry out a defined, site-based works package. The successful supplier was identified through a call-off from the GCA LVPS framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through that framework route. The award provides evidence of demand for this combined solar and electrical capability at Seward Lodge; it does not establish a wider requirement beyond this installation.
