Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is buying an IT data cabling framework for the supply and installation of data cabling and extra-low-voltage control cabling. The requirement is classified as construction work and includes both works and goods. The framework will support the Trust and three other Lincolnshire NHS organisations: NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust. Delivery is across Lincolnshire. The work is for suppliers able to provide and fit cabling infrastructure and associated extra-low-voltage control systems for NHS premises. It is a single framework requirement rather than separate lots, with the participating health organisations able to use the resulting arrangements for their cabling needs.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers have invited offers through an open procedure. It is a closed framework allowing up to five participants, with competition reopened when contracts are awarded. The enquiry deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation is weighted 50% technical quality, 40% commercial price and 10% social value. The framework is scheduled to run from 15 November 2026 to 14 November 2029, with an option to extend for one year, to a maximum date of 14 November 2030. Its estimated value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT and £6,000,000 including VAT. The expected award decision date is 14 October 2026.

This opportunity suits cabling contractors and electrical or building-services firms with the technical capability to supply and install data cabling and extra-low-voltage control cabling in NHS environments. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist businesses may be able to compete directly. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the technical quality of their proposed approach, as this is the largest evaluation component, alongside competitive commercial pricing and credible social-value commitments. The framework structure favours businesses able to support multiple Lincolnshire NHS organisations and participate in further competitions after appointment. Firms should also have sufficient operational capacity to deliver installation work across the area over a multi-year arrangement.
