UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council procured additional utility diversion works for the Skippers Lane civils works programme. The requirement was for Virgin Media diversion activity, classified as electrical installation work. The work is associated with Skippers Lane in Redcar and Cleveland, within the council’s area. This is a works contract rather than a supply or standalone professional services requirement. The buyer is a sub-central public authority, and the selected supplier was Virgin Media Business Limited. The scope indicates a need to alter or divert communications infrastructure affected by the wider civils works, so it is relevant to contractors with experience of electrical or network infrastructure diversions and work alongside civil engineering projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one completed lot. Virgin Media Business Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 8 April 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £58,422.41 excluding VAT, or £70,106.89 including VAT. The award concerns the electrical installation work required for the diversion activity. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the contract is recorded as active. The published outcome therefore reflects an awarded requirement with a defined delivery period and a single supplier.

This procurement is useful market evidence for contractors working in utility infrastructure diversions, electrical installation and civils interfaces. A credible competitor for a future requirement with this council would need practical experience of diverting or protecting communications infrastructure when road, site or other civil engineering works affect existing assets. Relevant capability would include surveying affected infrastructure, planning diversion works, coordinating with the principal civils programme, carrying out installation or relocation safely, and completing work to the required operational and technical standards. Suppliers should also be able to manage site delivery in a local-authority environment and demonstrate sufficient skilled labour, supervision, equipment and coordination capacity for a focused infrastructure works package.
