In plain English
An NHS health board in Wales needs a specialist electrical contractor to inspect, test, maintain and repair low-voltage switchgear (electrical distribution equipment) across their hospital and clinic buildings. This is a single-supplier contract worth around £200,000 covering the Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil areas.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out planned preventative maintenance inspections and testing of low-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers and electrical distribution equipment • Respond to emergency breakdowns and reactive repairs to keep electrical systems running • Ensure all work meets safety regulations and keeps the Health Board's electrical infrastructure compliant and safe for patient care
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You will almost certainly be disqualified if you do not hold formal electrical qualifications (such as City & Guilds Level 3 or equivalent), PAT/switchgear certification, or proof of experience maintaining healthcare electrical systems; NHS contracts also require enhanced DBS clearance and very high insurance levels (typically £6 million public liability), which many sole traders cannot afford.
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.
