UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Swindon, as the buying organisation. The contract, titled "Electricity for Land Expansions (Estates and Facilities)," falls under the industry category of works, specifically focussing on electrical installation work of electrical distribution apparatus. The location is Swindon, with the procurement stage identified as the award, recently completed by 7th January 2026. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold and without competition, indicating a sole source approach due to specific contextual requirements. The contract is active from 1st January 2026 to 31st March 2026, valued at £58,753 net (£70,503 gross).

This procurement provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for specialised electrical contractors, due to the nature of the work required. Companies with the capability to handle electrical installation work, specifically within large infrastructure projects and those with experience working with public authorities, stand well-placed to compete, especially considering the nuanced financial arrangements involved. As the contract was directly awarded to Prime PLC UK Ltd, a large-scale business, future opportunities could exist for other skilled subcontractors to support large developers in similar expansions and infrastructural enhancements. Businesses with expertise in dealing with public sector clients and financial management of public-private partnership arrangements might find similar future contracts advantageous.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Electricity for Land Expansions (Estates and Facilities)

Notice Description

The reimbursement is necessary to settle costs incurred by Prime PLC on behalf of GWH NHS Foundation Trust for securing an allocation of electrical capacity from Southern Electric Power Distribution (SEPD) PLC for the Expansion Land site. SEPD, operating under SSE, is the sole provider of electrical capacity in Swindon, and these works can only be undertaken by formally appointed utility providers. At the time the capacity offer was made, GWH did not have access to the required funds, and Prime PLC, as the appointed Developer Partner, agreed to pay the invoices to avoid losing the allocation. This reimbursement ensures the Trust meets its financial obligations, removes outstanding debt from the development partnership, and maintains progress on the expansion programme.
