UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured works for the Bleddfa Deer Larder – National Grid upgrade. The requirement concerned electrical installation work for transformers, a specialist construction and electrical engineering activity. Delivery was associated with Bleddfa Deer Larder. Natural Resources Wales is the buying organisation and is responsible for the procurement. The work formed one completed lot. The named supplier, National Grid, is a large organisation. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses that install, upgrade or work on transformer-related electrical systems, particularly those with the operational capacity to deliver infrastructure works for a public-sector buyer and a major national utility. It is less relevant to suppliers whose activities are limited to general building work, routine electrical maintenance or unrelated goods and services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to National Grid. The award is active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, with an award date not separately recorded; the contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. Its value is £116,428.66 excluding tax and £139,713 including tax. The contract itself is active. The award covered works for electrical installation of transformers at Bleddfa Deer Larder. The published outcome shows a single supplier rather than a multi-supplier award. No competitive evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement information.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award provides a clear indication that Natural Resources Wales has demand for transformer-related electrical installation works at operational sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in electrical installation involving transformers, suitable technical staff and equipment, and the capacity to manage infrastructure works through the required delivery period. Experience of working safely and reliably on utility or public-sector sites would strengthen a supplier’s position, although no specific accreditation or qualification is identified here. National Grid’s selection also indicates that the buyer accepted a large, established infrastructure provider for this requirement. Businesses should therefore assess whether they can demonstrate comparable technical competence, delivery capacity and relevant project experience when this buyer next needs similar work.
