UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is buying power distribution and low-voltage cabling for its high-voltage power supply requirements. This is a supply of goods rather than installation or other works. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The procurement is a single package, covering the cabling supply, and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers whose business includes sourcing and supplying electrical power cables are the closest fit. The description gives no further technical specification of cable types, quantities or intended installation, so suppliers should check the procurement requirements for product details before assessing whether their range meets the need.

The process reached tender: the authority invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 15 October 2026 at 11:00, and the bid submission deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 20 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an award decision scheduled by 19 November 2026. The estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 75% on price, 15% on delivery and 10% on social value. Electronic submission is permitted, and bids must be in English.

This opportunity is best suited to cable suppliers able to provide power distribution and low-voltage cabling and to deliver within the contract’s defined period. Delivery performance has a material role in evaluation alongside price, while social value also contributes to the score. The single-lot structure means the requirement is presented as one supply package rather than separate cable categories, so a supplier should be capable of covering the specified package. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly considered suitable. No particular accreditation, technical standard, installation service, staffing level or prior experience requirement is stated in the available procurement details; the relevant commercial test is whether a supplier’s product range and delivery capability satisfy the detailed requirements.
