## Summary

NHS Ayrshire & Arran commissioned specialist engineering design services for North Ayrshire Council’s solar field private wire connection. The requirement covers the design specification for connecting the solar field through a private wire arrangement, supporting the technical development of the council’s renewable energy infrastructure. The work is associated with Ayrshire and Arran. The main service classification is engineering design services (CPV 71320000). The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a broad range of separate service packages. It was bought by NHS Ayrshire & Arran, while the project relates to North Ayrshire Council’s solar field. The selected provider was Electel, an SME based in Oldham, whose role was to deliver the design consultancy for this connection specification.

This procurement has been completed and awarded, with an active contract signed on 20 August 2026. Electel was selected for the single lot, with a contract value of £96,906. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the justification that Electel Design Ltd had previously been appointed through a compliant competitive process and could carry out the additional work without restarting procurement. One bid was received, and it was submitted electronically by an SME. The process was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate contract duration or award date is recorded; the contract signature date is the recorded date for the agreement.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award indicates demand for specialist electrical and renewable-energy design consultancy connected with solar generation and private wire infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar work with NHS Ayrshire & Arran would need demonstrable experience producing connection design specifications and translating solar-field requirements into technically deliverable private wire schemes. The buyer’s route also shows the commercial importance of prior relevant appointment: additional work was placed with the existing consultant rather than reopened to competition. Suppliers seeking to compete when comparable requirements return would therefore need a strong record with compliant public procurement, clear technical capability in power connection design, and the capacity to support project-specific engineering work for public-sector energy infrastructure in Ayrshire and Arran.
