Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the tender stage for a project titled "Independent Connection Provider". This procurement process seeks to appoint a single specialist delivery partner to provide contestable high-voltage electrical infrastructure necessary for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme (HHRP). The contract includes essential works such as a permanent 33kV supply, primary substation, and modifications to the current 11kV network, with an estimated value of GBP 10,867,000. The project, under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option A, requires a contractor experienced in electrical installation and related services. The tender submission period ends on August 4, 2026, with queries accepted until July 15, 2026. The award decision is anticipated by August 28, 2026, with work commencing in November 2026 in the UKH12 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender opens significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses accredited by the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS). The contract is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, highlighting technical proficiency in high-voltage electrical infrastructure as a competitive advantage. Companies specialising in construction, installation services, and systems integration can compete, benefiting from a steady workflow until mid-2028, with potential extensions as required. The weightage given to price and technical quality in the evaluation criteria further provides businesses with the leverage to showcase both cost-effectiveness and technical excellence in their bids.

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.
