## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust pertains to the "Supply of a Temporary High Voltage Electrical Connection to the Queens Medical Centre." This contract falls under the industry category of high voltage installation work, specifically within the public authority central government sector, and is located in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been awarded to National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands) PLC. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, executed without competition. The contract involves laying approximately 4km of high voltage cable, with key dates including the contract signing on 1st September 2025, and the contract period running from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2028.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in electrical infrastructure work. Although the Trust chose a direct appointment in this instance, the fact that some of the works could potentially have been managed by an Independent Connection Provider suggests there are openings for experienced counterparts who can offer such services. Businesses proficient in high voltage electrical projects, project management, and working within public highways will find this type of procurement beneficial for broadening their portfolio. It highlights a need for firms capable of managing complex infrastructure projects, which could lead to potential collaborations and partnerships in the future for similar works.

## Notice

To facilitate delivery of its sustainability agenda, the Trust requires a Supplier to provide a 5MVA electrical connection to the Queen's Medical Centre. This includes laying approximately 4km of High Voltage cable within the Public Highway. This 5MVA supply will enable the unrestricted operation of the existing in situ heat pumps alongside the commissioning and partial operation of infrastructure that is required as part of the Trusts ongoing decarbonisation schemes. Without the 5MVA supply, then the Trust will not be able to deliver a proportion of the relevant schemes. The estimated value of the contract consists of PS700k of contestable works. The Trust has directly appointed National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands) PLC to undertake this work. Whilst some of the contestable works could have been carried out by an Independent Connection Provider (ICP), the Trust does not possess the relevant expertise necessary to manage an ICP working within the public highway, for example. By directly appointing National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands) PLC as the end-to-end supplier they will be responsible carrying out the full package of works consisting of all the offsite works that will take place associated with both the non-contestable (approximately PS100k-120k in addition to values quoted elsewhere on this notice) and contestable elements. It is therefore envisaged this will mitigate risks to the Trust in regard to extended program length and any potential delays.
