UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured engineering and construction works to support an 11kV cable route for the datacentre and Diagnostic Centre at Bridgwater Community Hospital. The scope covers site preparation, utility surveys, trench excavation, duct installation, jointing pits, reinstatement, traffic management and associated enabling works. This is electrical infrastructure and power-line construction work, rather than general building maintenance. The buyer is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. Delivery is in Bridgwater, Somerset. The requirement was organised as one works package and supports the installation of a high-voltage electrical connection for hospital facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. Knight Electrical Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 9 July 2026 to 8 October 2026. Its value is £26,410.37 excluding VAT, or £31,692.44 including VAT. The award covers the single works package for the 11kV cable route at Bridgwater Community Hospital. The tender used a direct procurement method and the recorded outcome is an active award and active contract. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for specialist electrical infrastructure contractors able to deliver high-voltage cable-route works in a live or operational hospital environment. A credible future supplier would need practical capability across utility surveys, excavation, duct installation, jointing pits, cable-route enabling works, reinstatement and traffic management, with the coordination needed to complete those activities as one package. Experience of working around healthcare sites and maintaining safe access, traffic arrangements and site controls would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also favours an SME-sized contractor able to manage a focused power-line construction project from preparation through reinstatement, while coordinating the specialist elements of the installation.
