This tender pertains to the services industry, specifically electricity distribution and related services. The process took place in Witham, Chelmsford, and Rayleigh, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was direct acquisition, without competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement stage is now in the award and contract phase, with the contract being active since 5 June 2025, and the project is set to complete by 28 February 2026.
