Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured high-voltage electrical works at Whiston Hospital in Prescot. The requirement covers removing the existing customer-owned high-voltage tails, terminating new customer high-voltage tails and relocating the high-voltage metering equipment. This is electrical installation work involving hospital electricity infrastructure, rather than general building work or routine electrical maintenance. The buyer is an NHS hospital trust, and the work is associated with its Whiston Hospital site on Warrington Road. Businesses suited to this requirement are electrical contractors, electricity network operators and specialist high-voltage infrastructure providers able to work on customer-owned high-voltage connections and metering arrangements in an operational healthcare environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot. SP Manweb PLC was awarded the contract on 25 August 2026, with an awarded value of £16,495 excluding VAT (£19,794 including VAT). The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 September 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies electrical installation work as the classification. No separate evaluation weighting or selection criteria are recorded for this procurement.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist high-voltage connection and metering work within an NHS hospital trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical experience removing customer-owned high-voltage tails, terminating replacement tails and relocating high-voltage metering equipment. It would also need the technical capability, equipment and competent personnel to manage electrical installation work around hospital infrastructure, where continuity, safety and controlled access are commercially important considerations. SP Manweb PLC’s selection shows that an electricity network or high-voltage infrastructure business can be well placed for this type of work. Electrical contractors with comparable high-voltage connection, termination and metering experience may also be relevant when the trust next requires this service.
