UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured electrical engineering installation works for the WHHT NHP Dual Circuit HV Connection. The requirement is to provide a dual-circuit high-voltage electrical connection supporting the Trust’s NHP project. The work is associated with the Trust’s hospital estate and is delivered at Watford General Hospital, Vicarage Road, Watford. This is a works contract rather than a supply-only or routine services opportunity. Businesses operating in high-voltage electrical infrastructure, utility connections, power distribution and complex electrical installation may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to work safely within an NHS hospital environment and coordinate connection works with an operational healthcare site.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to UK Power Networks. It was let by direct award through the Trust Waiver process, in line with the Trust’s Standing Financial Instructions, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 19 July 2026. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 1 December 2029. The contract value is £2,589,900.49 excluding VAT, or £3,107,880.59 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the dual-circuit high-voltage connection works. UK Power Networks is the named awarded supplier. The published outcome records an award rather than a competitive evaluation between tenderers.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for major high-voltage connection and electrical installation capability from a public-sector healthcare buyer. A credible competitor for comparable work would need proven competence in designing, installing, testing and commissioning high-voltage electrical connections, including dual-circuit arrangements and integration with existing power infrastructure. It would also need the operational capacity to manage substantial infrastructure works over a multi-year delivery period, coordinate with the hospital estate and protect continuity and safety in a live healthcare setting. Experience working for NHS organisations or other critical infrastructure operators would help demonstrate an understanding of governance, site controls, assurance, stakeholder coordination and the consequences of power disruption.
