Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is procuring one specialist Independent Connection Provider to deliver contestable high-voltage electrical infrastructure for the HHRP and support the safe replacement of RAAC-affected facilities. The works must maintain an uninterrupted electrical supply to an operational acute hospital throughout delivery and provide a permanent, resilient system compliant with NHS technical requirements and statutory obligations. The appointed contractor will develop the design, construct, test, commission and hand over the works, leading to formal adoption of the installed high-voltage assets by an independent distribution network operator. The scope includes a permanent 33kV supply and primary substation, high-voltage cabling, civil works, protection, SCADA and telemetry, revenue metering, earthing, primary intake infrastructure and modifications to the retained hospital’s existing 11kV private network. A separately priced interim 11kV supply is optional.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open tender using a competitive flexible procedure. Bidders could submit enquiries until 29 July 2026 at 10:00, and tenders are due by 25 August 2026 at 23:30. The evaluation and award decision is due by 18 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 3 November 2026 to 11 May 2028, with a possible extension until 31 August 2028 or until the work is completed. The estimated value is £10,867,000 excluding VAT, or £13,040,400 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price at 60%, technical quality at 30% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits an electrical infrastructure contractor able to act as a single delivery partner for complex high-voltage design and construction in a live acute-hospital environment. The requirement calls for capability across 33kV supply systems, primary substations, high-voltage cabling, civil engineering, protection systems, SCADA and telemetry, metering, earthing, 11kV networks, testing, commissioning and asset handover. Suppliers must be members of the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS), making NERS accreditation an essential participation requirement. Bidders need the capacity to protect continuous hospital operations while delivering resilient permanent infrastructure and coordinating adoption by an independent distribution network operator. The Trust indicates that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Independent Connection Provider

Notice Description

This project is to procure a single specialist delivery partner to provide the contestable high-voltage electrical infrastructure required to enable the HHRP and support the safe transition away from RAAC affected facilities. The works are business critical and must maintain continuous, uninterrupted electrical supply to an operational acute hospital throughout delivery, while delivering a permanent, resilient solution that is fully compliant with NHS technical requirements and statutory obligations. This project will procure an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) under NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option A, appointing a single contractor responsible for design development, construction, testing, commissioning, and handover, culminating in the formal adoption of installed HV assets by an iDNO. The scope comprises (as a minimum) the permanent 33kV supply and primary substation (including HV cabling and civil works, protection systems, SCADA/telemetry, revenue metering and earthing), primary intake infrastructure, and modifications to the existing 11kV private network serving the retained hospital. An interim 11kV supply is included as a separately priced, optional element to provide programme flexibility and minimise the cost and duration of temporary arrangements.
