This is a phased project to make the hospital's electrical system more reliable and flexible. The contract is worth approximately £950,000.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract will almost certainly disqualify most small electrical businesses because it requires a 'suitably qualified and experienced' contractor (which typically means firms with major project delivery history), involves £950,000 of work (substantial capital commitment and bonding), and mandatory site attendance is required (non-negotiable). Small sole traders or micro-businesses will struggle to bid competitively.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
