## Summary

SSE plc procured the supply and installation of a 132kV SGT transformer for its electricity infrastructure. The requirement covers power supply transformer equipment and associated installation services, under CPV 31174000. Delivery and installation were planned for the Clayhills and Willowdale sites in Aberdeen. The procurement was for a single transformer requirement, combining equipment supply with specialist electrical installation. It falls within the goods category, although suppliers would need the practical capability to install and commission the transformer as well as provide the equipment. The buyer is SSE plc, an electricity-sector organisation based in Perth. The requirement was handled as part of a framework-based purchasing route for a specialised transformer supplier.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Hitachi Ltd. The award was made on 8 July 2026, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract value is £6,109,420. SSE used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, making a direct award from a framework agreement because the requirement called for a specialised supplier. The opportunity was evaluated on price. The single lot covering supply and installation of the 132kV SGT transformer is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from SSE, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for high-voltage transformer supply combined with specialist installation at electricity infrastructure sites. A credible competitor would need proven capability to provide and install 132kV SGT transformers, manage delivery to operational sites, and meet the technical and safety demands of power-sector work. The selected route was a direct award from a framework because of the specialised nature of the supply, so relevant framework access or a route into comparable framework arrangements would be important. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive equipment, installation and whole-life delivery costs central to any future response. Experience delivering similarly complex transformer projects would strengthen credibility.
