UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured works to upgrade the power connection at Henley Library. The requirement falls within electrical installation work and concerns the library’s electricity connection rather than general building services. The work was delivered in the United Kingdom, at Henley Library. The council was the buying organisation, with the requirement managed as a single package. The stated requirement refers to an agreed quotation from SSE, under reference FEY800/2, for the title works. This is relevant to electricity network operators, electrical installation contractors and businesses able to carry out power connection upgrades for public buildings. It may also interest firms that support network connection works through a larger principal contractor, although the recorded supplier was a large electricity distribution company.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Oxfordshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. One completed lot was awarded to Southern Electric Power Distribution PLC. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 28 April 2025, runs from 28 April 2025 to 27 April 2026, and has a gross value of £260,057.93. The recorded route was an agreed quotation rather than a competitive tender, so the supplier was selected without bids being evaluated against competing submissions. The procurement covered works, specifically the electrical installation required for the power connection upgrade at the library.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Oxfordshire County Council for specialist electrical power connection works at public facilities, delivered through an electricity distribution provider. A credible future supplier for this requirement would need the technical capability to plan and complete power connection upgrades safely, coordinate with the council and the relevant premises, and manage the practical requirements of electrical installation work. Experience working on public-sector buildings such as libraries would be directly relevant. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, indicating that capacity to undertake the works and engage with a public authority was important in this instance. Businesses competing when a similar requirement returns would benefit from evidence of completed connection upgrades, dependable delivery arrangements and the ability to provide a clear, agreed quotation for a defined package of works.
