Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited has completed a direct award procurement process to supply electricity to the Dollands Moor Freight Yard in Kent, United Kingdom. This process, classified under the utilities special regime, was executed using a direct procurement method, justified under the Procurement Act 2023 due to the unique technical circumstances at the site. The contract, awarded on 2nd July 2026, runs from 2nd July 2026 to 30th July 2031, and involves a supplier based in Kent. The industry category is identified as goods, specifically electricity, under CPV code 09310000, and the process has moved through the procurement stages, now in a completed status with contracts awarded.

This tender provides a significant business growth opportunity, primarily for companies capable of delivering specialised electricity services to rail infrastructure facilities without direct grid connections. Large suppliers with the technical capability to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply and to manage complex metering and billing processes will find this contract particularly advantageous. With a gross award amount of £5,000,000, it presents a lucrative opportunity, especially for large-scale enterprises such as the Channel Tunnel Group, who have secured the contract, given their operational scale and capacity. Such contracts are pivotal for expanding operational capabilities and strengthening market presence in the utilities sector.
