Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has undertaken a public procurement process for the upgrade and replacement of LV electrical infrastructure in buildings 112 and 113, located in Bootle, Merseyside, United Kingdom. The procurement, initiated on 27th October 2025 and awarded on 11th December 2025, falls under the construction works category. The HSE, a central government public authority, sought to modernise the electrical supply to support ongoing and future research projects. The open competition method was chosen for this below-threshold tender, with NRC Services Limited emerging as the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £348,000 gross, is set to run from 23rd December 2025 until 23rd April 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in electrical infrastructure works. Companies capable of executing such projects will find this sector to be fertile ground, providing avenues to support central government initiatives while ensuring compliance with modern safety standards. SMEs like NRC Services Limited, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify well-suited candidates for engaging in such opportunities. This procurement process underscores the value the HSE places on quality and cost efficiency, providing a dual incentive for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in public sector projects.

Notice Title

THE UPGRADE AND REPLACEMENT OF LV ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO BUILDINGS 112 & 113

Notice Description

HSE have a requirement to replace life expired LV electrical infrastructure within buildings 112 and 113 to ensure continuity of service for both its current and future explosives/energetic materials research programmes utilising these facilities. Additional works are required to provide a separate supply to each building, as they are currently daisy chained. This is to include the replacement of switchgear within the nearby substation housed in Building 116. Refurbishing the buildings' electrical infrastructure will allow Science Division to continue further research on current HSE research projects, while upgrades to switchgear will futureproof this area of site against changing requirement as new and emerging threats develop requiring research. Delivery of this project will support the HSE Inspectorate, via an increased understanding during incident investigations and research work into new explosive manufacturing technologies.
