UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Power Connection Costs - Erdington" project was managed by the West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority based in Birmingham, UK. This process falls under the works category within the electrical engineering sector, specifically focused on a project tied to the broader EV CATS initiative. The procurement was conducted using a direct method below the threshold, bypassing competition, with the official contract signing on 6th August 2026. The project, located in Erdington, will begin execution on 14th August 2026 and is expected to be completed by 16th December 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for electrical engineering companies specialising in installation works, especially those capable of delivering complex power connection projects. Given the procurement's direct method below threshold, without competition, businesses that have established relationships within public authority networks or can offer specialised expertise would be advantageously positioned. Specifically, SMEs like HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEMS AND SERVICES LIMITED, already engaged in this contract, exemplify the type of enterprise that can benefit from such government procurement initiatives.
