Summary of the contracting process

Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust commissioned electrical installation works at St Leonards Hospital and the wheelchair centre in Poole. The requirement covers backlog lifecycle replacement works for the mains electrical panel board serving both healthcare facilities. This is a works contract focused on replacing essential electrical distribution equipment rather than supplying routine electrical goods or general facilities management. Businesses relevant to this requirement are electrical contractors able to undertake mains panel board replacement and associated installation works in a hospital and wheelchair-centre environment. The buying organisation is Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust, with the work located in Poole, Dorset. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the replacement project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Sinewave Electrical Contractors Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £158,873.98 excluding VAT, or £190,648.78 including VAT. The requirement was classified as electrical installation work. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the contract was awarded as a single lot. The recorded outcome shows an active award and active contract, so this is an account of a completed procurement decision rather than an opportunity to submit a tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust for substantial electrical infrastructure replacement in its estate. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of replacing mains electrical panel boards and delivering electrical installation works as a defined project, rather than only providing maintenance or minor electrical repairs. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the technical capability, qualified workforce and delivery capacity needed for a healthcare building and an associated wheelchair centre. The limited-competition route also indicates that relevant contractors may need to be identifiable to the Trust and able to respond to targeted procurement exercises. Sinewave Electrical Contractors Ltd’s selection shows that an established electrical contractor with sufficient organisational scale was suitable for this requirement.
