This procurement process seeks to appoint a single specialist delivery partner to provide contestable high-voltage electrical infrastructure necessary for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme (HHRP). The contract includes essential works such as a permanent 33kV supply, primary substation, and modifications to the current 11kV network, with an estimated value of GBP 10,867,000. The project, under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option A, requires a contractor experienced in electrical installation and related services. The tender submission period ends on August 4, 2026, with queries accepted until July 15, 2026. The award decision is anticipated by August 28, 2026, with work commencing in November 2026 in the UKH12 region of the United Kingdom. This tender opens significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses accredited by the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS). The contract is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, highlighting technical proficiency in high-voltage electrical infrastructure as a competitive advantage. Companies specialising in construction, installation services, and systems integration can compete, benefiting from a steady workflow until mid-2028, with potential extensions as required. The weightage given to price and technical quality in the evaluation criteria further provides businesses with the leverage to showcase both cost-effectiveness and technical excellence in their bids. ## Notice This project is to procure a single specialist delivery partner to provide the contestable high-voltage electrical infrastructure required to enable the HHRP and support the safe transition away from RAAC affected facilities. The works are business critical and must maintain continuous, uninterrupted electrical supply to an operational acute hospital throughout delivery, while delivering a permanent, resilient solution that is fully compliant with NHS technical requirements and statutory obligations. This project will procure an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) under NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option A, appointing a single contractor responsible for design development, construction, testing, commissioning, and handover, culminating in the formal adoption of installed HV assets by an iDNO. The scope comprises (as a minimum) the permanent 33kV supply and primary substation (including HV cabling and civil works, protection systems, SCADA/telemetry, revenue metering and earthing), primary intake infrastructure, and modifications to the existing 11kV private network serving the retained hospital. An interim 11kV supply is included as a separately priced, optional element to provide programme flexibility and minimise the cost and duration of temporary arrangements. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Contract will be extended until work is completed or as amended via compensation events ### Planning Information Please contact the Trust at nwangliaft.hhrpprocurement@nhs.net before the deadline so that we can setup a conversation with you directly ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062265-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Nov 2026 - 11 May 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,867,000 | | Lots value | £10,867,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH WEST ANGLIA NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE3 9GZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Ravensthorpe | | Westminster constituency | Peterborough | | Delivery location | TLH12 Cambridgeshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 45310000 - Electrical installation work - 51110000 - Installation services of electrical equipment ## Release History - 2 Jul 2026 at 12:42 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062265-2026 - 2 Jul 2026 at 08:21 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062033-2026 - 26 Jan 2026 at 14:29 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/006720-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062265-2026 2nd July 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062033-2026 2nd July 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/006720-2026 26th January 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce-sites.com/?searchtype=Projects - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.nwangliaft.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
