UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management is procuring an electrical backup generator for its healthcare facilities. The requirement is for the purchase and delivery of a generator unit, classified under CPV 31122000. This is a goods procurement rather than an installation, maintenance or consultancy service. The buyer is based at Northumbria House, Cobalt Business Park, North Shields, and the delivery areas are within the North East of England, including Northumberland and surrounding North East locations. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist electrical equipment suppliers able to provide generator units for healthcare or other critical facilities. The requirement is focused on backup power equipment rather than general electrical works or broader facilities management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and awarded to an identified large supplier. The contract is active from 14 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its value is £22,609 excluding VAT, or £27,130.80 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the generator purchase. The award relates to the supply of generator units, with evaluation through a direct award rather than a competitive scoring process. This outcome shows that the buyer used a non-competitive route for a relatively small goods purchase and that the requirement has progressed beyond tendering into contract delivery.

For a supplier monitoring this buyer, the procurement is useful evidence of demand for electrical backup generation in a healthcare facilities environment. A credible future competitor would need to supply generator units suitable for critical-power use, understand the operational importance of continuity of electricity supply, and provide reliable delivery into North East England. Relevant strengths would include manufacturer or distributor access, product knowledge, dependable logistics and the capacity to support public-sector facilities with equipment that meets the buyer’s technical requirements. The recorded award was made to a large supplier, indicating that established supply capacity was present in the successful route. Generator manufacturers and specialist electrical equipment distributors should track this buyer’s future requirements and be ready to demonstrate comparable capability.
