UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "DNO electricity grid upgrade for Wallingford CSS" was carried out by Oxfordshire County Council, a public authority in the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 16th July 2026, following a direct procurement method that was classified as below threshold, thus being conducted without competition. The project, categorised under the works industry and specifically dealing with electricity supply installations, is set to be executed in the UKJ14 region starting from 1st January 2027 to 1st March 2027, with a maximum contract extent date set for 1st January 2030. The contract, valued at £37,376.57 gross, was signed on 30th June 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electricity supply installations, particularly large-scale enterprises, as demonstrated by the selection of Southern Electric Power Distribution PLC as the supplier. While the procurement was conducted directly and therefore did not involve open competition, businesses capable of delivering similar projects can find potential in understanding the workflows and requirements exhibited by Oxfordshire County Council. Companies looking to engage in sub-central government projects within the UK, especially those adept at infrastructure upgrades, may find strategic growth opportunities by forming partnerships or bidding for future contracts with similar procurement methods.
