Summary of the contracting process

UK Atomic Energy Authority is buying electrical power distribution equipment for the THOR project at its South Yorkshire site in Rotherham. The requirement covers a low-voltage switchboard, protective devices, low-voltage power cables, isolators, metering and associated installation consumables, supplied to the project’s bill of quantities. This is a goods procurement for electricity distribution and control equipment and power distribution cables (CPV 31200000 and 31320000). The equipment is intended for use at the Rotherham project site.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The single-lot contract is scheduled to run from 25 November 2026 to 15 January 2027. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The deadline for questions was 9 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation criteria are set out in the request for quotation document. The process is recorded as having reached the tender stage; no cancellation or withdrawal is indicated.

This requirement may suit suppliers able to provide a coordinated package of low-voltage distribution equipment and installation consumables, including switchboards, protective devices, power cables, isolators and metering. Suppliers should be capable of supplying items in line with a project bill of quantities and supporting their use on an electrical installation project in Rotherham. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The scope is a single package rather than multiple lots, so competitors need to cover the specified equipment range, either directly or through their supply arrangements. The buyer’s evaluation basis is described in the request for quotation.
