UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned an electrical connection upgrade at Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service’s Fire Station Broadway in Didcot. The works involve upgrading the electrical connection and include electrical installation work on transformers (CPV 45317200). The requirement is specific to the fire station, rather than a general electrical maintenance contract. Delivery is in Didcot, Oxfordshire. The council is the buyer, and the work supports the station’s electrical infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Oxfordshire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition and accepted a quote from Southern Electric Power Distribution PLC. The contract was signed on 8 August 2026 and runs from 8 August 2026 to 7 January 2027. Its value is £154,411.33 excluding VAT (£185,293.60 including VAT). The award is active and relates to a single lot; the published information does not give a separate award value or award date. The requirement was evaluated through limited competition, with the accepted supplier identified as the regional electrical infrastructure provider.

For suppliers positioning for similar work at this council, the award indicates demand for electrical infrastructure upgrades at fire service premises, including transformer installation work. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to assess and upgrade electrical connections and to install or work with transformers, alongside the capacity to deliver a defined site-based works package. The selected supplier was described as a regional electrical infrastructure provider, suggesting relevant local delivery capability was pertinent to this requirement. Electrical infrastructure businesses with experience working on public-sector operational sites would be well placed to demonstrate fit when comparable station connection upgrades are considered.
