Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured emergency electrical resilience works for the low-voltage generator at Watford General Hospital. The requirement falls within facilities management services and concerns the hospital’s emergency power capability. Work was delivered at Watford General Hospital, Vicarage Road, Watford, Hertfordshire. The procurement was intended to address electrical resilience for the hospital site, with the generator forming the central asset. Businesses relevant to this requirement include electrical contractors and facilities management providers able to undertake low-voltage generator works in a live healthcare setting, particularly where continuity of essential hospital services and resilience of emergency power systems are important. The buying organisation was West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition approved through a Trust waiver. B-A-R Electrical & Mechanical Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award was active and the contract was signed on 21 May 2026. The contract ran from 28 May 2026 to 24 June 2026. Its value was £336,847.54 excluding VAT, or £404,217.05 including VAT. The recorded contract status is active. The award covered emergency LV generator electrical resilience works at West Hertfordshire General Hospital. The published procurement information identifies the limited competition route and the Trust’s waiver approval as the basis for the procedure; it does not state separate quality, price or technical evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist emergency-power resilience work at an acute hospital site. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be established electrical or facilities management contractors with practical expertise in low-voltage generator systems, electrical resilience, testing, commissioning and remedial works. Experience of working safely in operational healthcare environments would be commercially important, as would the ability to plan and deliver urgent works without compromising essential services. The completed requirement also indicates a scale suited to a substantial specialist contractor rather than a small routine-maintenance call-out. Firms able to evidence relevant hospital projects, competent engineering teams, dependable response capacity and effective coordination with an NHS estates function would be credible competitors when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
