Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is actively seeking suppliers for an "Electrician Delivery Framework" contract focusing on electrical wiring and fitting work. The procurement process is in the tender stage and is being conducted through an open, below-threshold competition, highlighting the need for new installations and refurbishment of existing buildings at their Culham Science Centre, Abingdon location. The procurement opportunity, identified under Quote ID 100111705, has a tender period ending on 30th July 2026, with an enquiry period closing on 23rd July 2026. This framework agreement is open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and is suitable for firms with expertise in electrical contracting services. The contract, valued at a gross amount of GBP 2,400,000, offers the potential for renewal and has a contract period from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2028, possibly extending until 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical installations and refurbishments to expand their portfolio by collaborating with a prominent public authority. Given the structure as a framework agreement, it allows continuous engagement and the potential for extended competition, offering a stable avenue for revenue generation. Companies that can demonstrate the capability to deliver large-scale electrical projects within specified timelines, while maintaining high standards of service and compliance, are well-positioned to benefit from participating in this tender. The lack of participation fees and an emphasis on SME suitability further lower barriers to entry, encouraging a diverse range of firms to compete for these government contracts.
