Summary of the contracting process

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust procured Authorising Engineer services for high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems across its retained estates. The appointed organisation provides independent expert advice, technical assurance and governance support for the safe design, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. The requirement is an engineering consultancy and electrical advisory service, covering both HV and LV infrastructure. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s estates in London, including the Lewisham area. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust managed the tender process on behalf of the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises located in Lewisham.

This below-threshold service competition has been completed following an open procedure. One lot was awarded to ETA Projects. The contract was signed on 18 June 2026 for £45,900 excluding VAT (£55,080 including VAT), against an estimated lot value of £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 18 June 2026 to 29 June 2029, with an option to extend for a further two years; the maximum contract period ends on 27 June 2031. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 6 April 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, commercial terms at 40% and social value at 10%. Mandatory site visits formed part of the process.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for independent electrical engineering assurance covering both high-voltage and low-voltage retained-estate systems. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable competence in advising on the safe design, operation and maintenance of electrical infrastructure, together with the ability to provide authoritative assurance against statutory, regulatory and governance obligations. Relevant engineering consultancy and electrical advisory experience would be central, as would the capacity to attend required meetings and undertake site-based work. The contract’s agreed performance measures point to the importance of meeting response-time requirements across priority levels, producing an annual audit report to schedule and attending specified meetings. SMEs with suitable technical capability and local Lewisham presence are particularly well aligned.
