UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torridge District Council procured a new three-phase electricity connection for its Town Hall and Library. The requirement is for a 138 kVA connection, including the associated electricity distribution and control equipment and installation services. This is an electrical infrastructure and connection project for civic buildings, rather than general building maintenance or routine electricity supply. The buyer is Torridge District Council, based in Bideford. The work concerns the Council’s Town Hall and Library, providing the electrical capacity and distribution infrastructure needed to serve those public buildings. The requirement is classified under electricity distribution and control apparatus and installation services for electricity distribution and control equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) PLC was selected, and the contract was signed on 25 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £44,978.65 excluding VAT, or £53,974.38 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the complete connection requirement for the Town Hall and Library. The contract is active. The recorded procurement outcome therefore covers the planned electrical connection and installation works through a single appointed electricity distribution network operator, rather than a competitive multi-supplier arrangement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Torridge District Council for substantial electrical connection work to support its public buildings. A credible future supplier would need the capability to design, coordinate and install a new three-phase, 138 kVA connection, together with electricity distribution and control equipment. Relevant experience would include work on public or commercial buildings, managing connection requirements and completing installation safely within an agreed delivery programme. The awarded supplier’s role also indicates the importance of access to electricity distribution network expertise and the ability to deliver infrastructure connected to the local network. Electrical contractors, infrastructure specialists and network operators with comparable connection and installation experience would be best placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
