    "description": "As anticipated by the Contract Notice, NGET has appointed a Reserve Partner in each Lot, alongside the Enterprise Partners. The Reserve Partners are Jacobs UK Limited (Lot 1) and Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions Limited (Lot 2). The final appointment of the Reserve Partners in each Lot remains subject to contract as at the date of publication of this notice. All financial values stated in this notice replicate those in the Contract Notice which were calculated using then-current prices plus assumed inflation based on RPI forecast rates to 2032. All of these values are estimates only and the final outturn values will depend on the precise works and services required to be delivered, the means of delivery, the way in which programme and project risks materialise, the actual rates of inflation up to completion of the programme, and other factors. Please refer to the Contract Notice for details of the scale of this procurement, the identified projects and the wider scope of the Great Grid Partnership. The Great Grid Partnership constitutes a single programme to achieve National Grid's Great Grid Upgrade (https://www.nationalgrid.com/the-great-grid-upgrade). It is currently anticipated that this programme will be delivered by the Enterprise Partners through the Enterprise Agreement and the call-off contracts awarded under it, and the full scope of that is included in the scope advertised by the Contract Notice. However, and without limiting that, the works and services awarded to Enterprise Partner(s) may extend beyond that to involve additional works and services, through the award of further contracts in reliance on the procedure in Regulation 50(1)(f) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and/or any successor provision in the new Procurement Act 2023, when enacted, concerning direct awards for additional or repeat or similar works or services (including, without limitation, paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, for the purposes of which this contract award notice together with the Contract Notice is to be regarded as a \"tender notice or any tender document\"). Any contracts for new works or services consisting in the repetition of similar works or services will conform to the Great Grid Upgrade programme and / or a particular project for which packages are called-off under the Great Grid Partnership. The Enterprise Agreement may be awarded by, or novated to, a member of the National Grid group other than NGET.",
