Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has completed the procurement process for the decommissioning and removal of the Shornewood Switching Station (33kV) in the UK, classified under services in the decommissioning industry category. The contract, awarded to UK POWER NETWORKS, was signed on 8th May 2025, with the procurement method designated as a limited award procedure without prior publication. This project, valued at £9,792,445.71, did not solicit public competition due to specific technical requirements that only the selected supplier could meet, situating the site predominantly within the UKJ4 region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in decommissioning services, particularly those capable of managing complex technical tasks specific to the energy and infrastructure sectors. Large-scale enterprises with established proficiency in handling utility decommissioning and substantial resources would be well-positioned to pursue similar contracts, especially considering the prestigious nature and scale of National Highways projects. Engaging in such projects can expand business portfolios, bolster industry reputation, and potentially lead to further opportunities within public sector contracts.
