Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust commissioned works to provide connection services for a high-voltage substation. The requirement covers mains connections and electrical installation work, intended to connect and support high-voltage electrical infrastructure. The buying organisation is based at Clatterbridge Road, Bebington, Wirral. Delivery covered areas across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. This is a specialist electrical infrastructure requirement rather than general building work, and is relevant to businesses that design, install or connect high-voltage substations and associated mains electrical systems for public-sector or healthcare facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. There was one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Scottish Power Limited on 5 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 6 September 2026. Its value is £261,219.15 excluding VAT, or £313,462.98 including VAT. The contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the connection services for the high-voltage substation, including mains connections and electrical installation work. The published outcome shows a single supplier award and no competitive evaluation or multi-supplier allocation. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the opportunity demonstrates an established requirement rather than an open tender.

This outcome identifies demand from a specialist NHS buyer for high-voltage substation connection and electrical installation works. Competitors seeking similar work for the Trust would need demonstrable capability in mains connections, high-voltage electrical infrastructure and substation-related installation, with sufficient operational capacity to deliver a defined connection project within a short implementation window. Experience of working safely in complex healthcare or other critical-service environments would help establish credibility, particularly where electrical continuity and site safety are important. Businesses should also be prepared to understand the Trust’s technical requirements, coordinate with the relevant electricity network stakeholders and provide suitably qualified installation teams. Scottish Power Limited’s selection indicates that an established power-sector provider with large-scale infrastructure capability satisfied this requirement.
