Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Port Transformer #3 Replacement" at Ramsgate Royal Harbour was managed by Thanet District Council, a sub-central government authority located in Margate, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the industry category of electrical machinery and related goods, with delivery targeted for the South East of England, specifically the UKJ44 region. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract awarded directly to UK Power Networks Services (Commercial) Limited without competition, reflecting a below-threshold procurement method. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £126,929, commenced on 30th March 2026 and is set to be completed by 31st August 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and installation of electrical machinery and equipment. Although the procurement method was direct with no competitive bidding for this particular project, businesses similar in scale and service capacity to UK Power Networks Services, which can offer specialised electrical solutions, would be well-suited to compete in future opportunities involving sub-central government procurement processes. Large-scale enterprises with capabilities in electrical works and logistics in the South East region may find such projects beneficial for expanding their portfolio and establishing strong governmental ties.
