Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by EAST WEST RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED for a consultancy agreement titled "UKPN to provide design services" under the public utilities industry category. The project is to support the East West Rail Project between Oxford and Cambridge. The awarded tender, valued at £1,598,441 GBP, was completed through a direct procurement method classified as a single tender action below the threshold. Key dates include the tender end date on 1 October 2024 and the contract period from 18 October 2024 to 31 March 2025. The project's location is centred in Milton Keynes, with postal code MK9 1EN.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in public utility design services, particularly those that can support large-scale rail infrastructure projects. However, it is notably less suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given its scale and procurement specifics. UK POWER NETWORKS (OPERATIONS) LIMITED emerged as the successful supplier, indicating the suitability of businesses with significant capacity and experience in handling design services for major public works projects. This contract can provide growth avenues for firms operating at a large scale within the public utilities sector.
