Summary of the contracting process

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust procured electrical works for a Main Intake upgrade at its hospital in Nuneaton. The scope covered modifying and extending the existing Main Intake electrical infrastructure to enable relocation of the Pathology generator to the Main Intake generator house. It also included installing new low-voltage distribution equipment and carrying out associated high-voltage upgrade works. This is a construction and electrical installation requirement, including substation-related work. The work is for hospital infrastructure and would suit contractors able to deliver coordinated electrical works in a live healthcare estate, with the technical scope covering both high-voltage and low-voltage systems and generator-related infrastructure.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. The enquiry deadline was 11 August 2026 at 5pm and the tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract period was 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value was £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. Evaluation was weighted 50% quality, 40% price and 10% social value, with suppliers required to pass all requirements in the invitation to tender. The tender was cancelled on 7 September 2026 because no bids were within budget and none of the bids received fully matched the specification. The Trust stated that it would review the specification and create another tender opportunity, either as an open procedure or through an applicable framework.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises with the capability to plan and deliver hospital electrical infrastructure upgrades. Relevant suppliers would need practical experience of modifying existing main electrical intakes, installing low-voltage distribution equipment, completing high-voltage upgrade works and supporting the relocation and connection of a pathology generator. Contractors with strong quality management, accurate cost control and the ability to demonstrate social value would have been well placed against the evaluation criteria. The requirement called for compliance with all invitation-to-tender requirements, so businesses would need the technical capacity, project management discipline and site-delivery experience to coordinate complex electrical works safely within a healthcare environment. A revised opportunity is expected after the specification is reviewed.
