Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University, a sub-central government public authority located in Nottingham, conducted a procurement process titled "Brackenhurst Vertical Farm Electrical Works (M&E)". This tender, which falls under the industry category of electrical installation work, was completed as of 27th January 2026. The procurement process employed a limited method due to its below-threshold nature and was specifically designed for enabling electrical works necessary for a new vertical farm. The project location is in the UKF14 region of Nottingham, United Kingdom, with the contract scheduled to commence on 2nd February 2026 and conclude on 1st February 2027.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in electrical installation works, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like ELECTRACT LIMITED, the awarded supplier.
