Contract for the installation of high voltage cables at the Oxford Energy Superhub

Decision Maker: Head of Corporate Strategy

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To commission specialist works to install the high voltage cables between the 33kV substation owned by Pivot Power and Oxford City Council’s transformer for the Energy Super Hub at Redbridge.

Decision:

To award a contract to Power Systems UK Ltd to carry out the design, supply, install, test and commission the electrical works infrastructure for the high voltage cables at Redbridge.

The cost for the works totals £5,300 and is set out with a scope of works from the contractor.

Reasons for the decision:

To commission specialist works to ensure the correct cabling and electrical works are supplied in order to facilitate the safe and robust operation of the Energy Superhub compound.

PSUK is one of the incumbent contractor’s (Pivot Power) preferred contractors. In order to reduce risk and ensure joined up working this supplier was therefore chosen as these works connect to a Pivot Power substation.

Alternative options considered:

This is key connection work required for the operation of the Energy Super Hub.  Therefore the option to do nothing was not explored.
