UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works to alter UK Power Networks’ electric lines and electrical plant near Station Road, Tilbury. The requirement was to underground a section of the 11kV overhead electricity network. This is electrical infrastructure construction and modification work, classified under CPV 45315300, electricity supply installations. The work concerns a specific diversion associated with the Station Road area and involves coordination between the strategic road network owner and the electricity network operator. The selected delivery organisation is UK Power Networks, a large-scale electricity network business. Suppliers with experience in utility infrastructure, overhead-line diversions, underground cabling and electrical plant alterations would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed, with UK Power Networks selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 19 August 2026. The contract value is £403,367.86 excluding VAT and £484,041.44 including VAT. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is below the applicable threshold. Its scope is limited to the Station Road diversion works, including the alteration and undergrounding of the relevant 11kV electricity network.

This procurement demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist electricity-network diversion works linked to infrastructure projects. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in modifying electric lines and electrical plant, designing and installing underground sections of an 11kV network, and managing interfaces with an electricity distribution network operator. Experience of working around transport infrastructure and coordinating safe construction in constrained highway environments would also be relevant. Suppliers would need sufficient technical resources, project management capacity and operational controls to deliver network alterations through to completion. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that large-scale utility-network capability is well suited to this requirement.
