Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust organised a procurement process titled "High Voltage Cable Jointing - Substation C", classified under the industry category of "works". This process is located in Chester, United Kingdom, within the region UKD63. As of 15 January 2026, the procurement stage is complete, having been executed under a 'direct' procurement method that bypassed competition due to being below the financial threshold. The contract was awarded to D & S Systems LTD, a supplier classified as an SME, on 13 January 2026, and the contract's active period was from 14 January to 15 January 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in high voltage cable installation and electrical engineering services, particularly those that can provide insulated wire and cable solutions. Given the nature of the procurement method, businesses with direct access or past relationships with similar public authorities might benefit. Small to medium enterprises, like D & S Systems LTD, which can deliver specialised services at competitive prices, are well-suited to engage in similar direct procurement processes. The involvement with a central government public authority can enhance business credibility and may lead to further similar opportunities.
