Summary of the contracting process

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring works to replace the standby generator at The Horton. The requirement covers design development, supply, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of a complete operational generator solution. It also includes associated equipment, builder’s work, controls, connections and enabling works. This is construction and generator installation work for a health-related building, with the delivery location identified as Oxford. The scope combines specialist electrical and generator expertise with building and enabling works, so it is relevant to contractors able to manage the full replacement package rather than supplying a generator alone. The Trust is the public-sector buyer and end user of the completed standby power system.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £600,000, including the lot value, and bids will be evaluated on price. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 7 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract period is 19 October 2026 to 19 March 2027. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. The buyer accepts electronic and written submissions, with electronic access and communication provided through its Atamis procurement portal. English is the submission language, and variants are not allowed. The evaluation and award process is scheduled to begin on 27 July 2026.

This opportunity suits generator specialists, electrical contractors and construction firms that can take responsibility for a complete standby-power replacement in a healthcare environment. Strong candidates will be able to develop the design, coordinate supply and delivery, install the generator and associated equipment, complete builder’s work, controls, connections and enabling works, then carry out testing, commissioning and formal handover. The requirement favours suppliers with the capacity to manage several interconnected disciplines and deliver a fully operational solution, whether directly or through an integrated delivery team. It may also suit contractors with established experience working around operational health facilities, where coordination, safe installation and reliable commissioning are important to the end result.
