Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust procured an electrical sub-main upgrade, including replacement of the existing sub-main installation and distribution boards. The requirement is classified as electricity distribution and control apparatus (CPV 31200000), although the work involves an upgrade to hospital electrical infrastructure rather than a simple equipment supply. The buyer is Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, and the project is associated with its site in Northampton. This is a single hospital infrastructure requirement covering the specified sub-main and distribution-board works. It will suit electrical contractors and specialist power-distribution suppliers able to work in a hospital environment, coordinate installation activity safely and provide compliant equipment and associated upgrade services.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Three bids were received, all three remained at the final stage and all three were from SMEs. H.R.MANN LIMITED was selected for the single lot, with an award value of £290,759.55 excluding VAT (£348,911.46 including VAT). The award date was 11 September 2026, with a standstill period ending on 22 September 2026. The awarded contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. A signature milestone was scheduled for 23 September 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, commercial price at 40% and social value at 10%.

This award shows that the Trust buys substantial hospital electrical infrastructure through an open competitive route and that specialist SMEs can compete successfully. A credible future supplier would need experience delivering sub-main upgrades, distribution-board replacement and electricity distribution equipment, with the technical capability to plan and carry out works in a live healthcare setting. Registration with NICEIC, or an equivalent non-domestic electrical accreditation, was a participation requirement. Competitors would also need to demonstrate strong technical quality, offer competitive commercial pricing and present a clear social-value contribution, since these were the three evaluation areas. The successful supplier profile is therefore an appropriately accredited electrical contractor or specialist power-distribution business with sufficient delivery capacity, healthcare-site controls and evidence of safe, technically compliant installations.
