Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, which is seeking a supplier for the "Supply of Electricity to Dollands Moor" project located in Folkestone, Kent. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on the electricity industry. The procurement method utilised is a limited award procedure without prior competition due to the technical reasons surrounding the unique infrastructure of the Dollands Moor freight yard. The contract value is set at £1,500,000, and it was signed on 29th June 2021. The procurement process is currently complete.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those with the capability to supply electricity and manage infrastructure connections. Companies that possess the necessary technical resources or partnerships with existing infrastructure providers like The Channel Tunnel Group Limited would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The specific need for electricity supply from Euro Tunnel to Dollands Moor creates a niche for specialised providers in the electrification and railway services industries, potentially leading to further contracts in related areas.

Notice Title

Supply of Electricity to Dollands Moor

Notice Description

Supply of electricity to the Dollands Moor freight yard in Folkestone, Kent.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of this procurement is the supply of electricity to the Dollands Moor freight yard for the primary purpose of traction power supply. Dollands Moor is in the proximity of Euro Tunnel's terminal at Folkestone, Kent. Electricity is required to ensure the operation of the freight yard and to enable trains to join certain lines. Electricity will be fed from Euro Tunnel to Dollands Moor as there is no direct connection to the national grid, meaning there are no alternative viable options for electricity supply.

Procurement Information

Dollands Moor does not have a direct connection to the national grid infrastructure which ordinarily supplies businesses and households with electricity. The only supplier in range of the freight yard with existing required infrastructure is The Channel Tunnel Group. Using existing infrastructure, electricity can be fed from from Euro Tunnel. A contract has therefore been awarded without a prior call for competition as competition is absent for technical reasons.
