Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured a power supply for an average-speed camera at Site 4, Gillot Hey, on the A57 Snake Pass. The requirement was a one-off purchase delivered in connection with a road safety installation. It covered road control, safety or signalling equipment and associated construction work for power lines serving a highway. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The awarded supplier, Northern Powergrid Limited, is a large electricity network business. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers working in electrical power connections, highway infrastructure, road-signalling equipment or utility construction, particularly where they can support installations associated with roads and traffic monitoring equipment.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold mini-competition. One lot was completed, with Northern Powergrid Limited selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. Its period runs from 6 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract value is £44,608.65 excluding VAT, or £53,530.38 including VAT. The requirement was treated as goods, with associated power-line and highway construction activity. The procurement was described as a one-off purchase, rather than a recurring supply arrangement. The available outcome shows a single awarded supplier and does not indicate that the contract was cancelled or terminated.

This award shows demand from Derbyshire County Council for specialist power connections supporting average-speed camera infrastructure on a major road. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in electricity supply connections, roadside electrical infrastructure and construction work for power lines. Experience of working around live highways, coordinating with road authorities and installing or supporting road safety and signalling equipment would be relevant. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that substantial electricity-network capability was suitable for this requirement, so businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable operational capacity as well as technical competence. Suppliers with complementary highway, traffic-management or utility expertise could also be well placed, especially where they can manage a complete roadside power installation.
