UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured works to replace the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery banks serving the Specialised Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (SNICU) UPS system at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The scope covered removing and disposing of the existing batteries, supplying and installing replacement sealed lead-acid batteries, testing the completed installation, and carrying out associated electrical works needed to maintain operation of the power system. This is specialist electrical installation and critical power infrastructure work, including transformer-related electrical installation. The requirement was for the hospital site and supports continuity of power to an essential clinical service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Enhanced Power Services Limited. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 9 July 2026 to 8 January 2027. Its value is £48,825 excluding VAT, or £58,590 including VAT. One completed lot covered the UPS battery replacement works. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was treated as works and involved electrical installation activity associated with the hospital's UPS system.

This requirement indicates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for suppliers able to work on UPS and critical power systems in a hospital environment. A credible competitor would need to manage the full replacement cycle: safely isolate the system, remove and dispose of existing batteries, supply compatible sealed lead-acid battery banks, install them, test performance and complete associated electrical works. Experience protecting continuity of power for essential clinical or other critical facilities would be commercially relevant, alongside competent electrical installation capability, safe working practices and the capacity to coordinate work on an operational hospital site. The awarded supplier's SME status also shows that a specialist smaller business can deliver this type of requirement.
