Summary of the contracting process

Northern Powergrid Limited has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of a wood pole support system, which falls under the industry category of ancillary works for electricity power lines. The contract, signed on 7th August 2024, involves supplying wood pole supports for high voltage and low voltage networks across the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, as Northern Powergrid identified Osmose Utilities Services Inc. as the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the specific requirements within the necessary timeframe. The contract includes the supply of steel trusses and associated materials, a pre-installation survey, landowner consent, and installation services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the electrical utilities sector, particularly those that can offer subcontracting services for the installation and maintenance of the wood pole support system. Companies specialising in high precision metalwork, surveying, and field installations may find this contract appealing given the comprehensive service requirements specified by Northern Powergrid. The procurement process points to a stable and long-term opportunity for companies looking to establish or expand their footprint in the electrical support manufacturing and installation industry.
