Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council procured electricity network diversion works for Phase 2 of the Mid-Cornwall Metro project in Newquay. The work concerns National Grid electricity infrastructure that needs to be diverted to support the metro project, with Cormac responsible for programming the works. The procurement is categorised as construction work. Cornwall Council is the buyer, and the work is associated with Newquay in Cornwall. This is a single package of works within the project; the requirement centres on altering or relocating electricity network assets rather than delivering general metro construction. The selected contractor is National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) PLC, the regional electricity distribution network operator.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was conducted as a below-threshold procurement; the method is recorded as unknown. One package was awarded to National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) PLC. The award value is not stated; the signed contract is worth £34,053.26 excluding VAT and £40,863.92 including VAT. The contract was signed on 7 June 2026 and runs from 8 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated award date, procedure used to select the supplier and evaluation criteria are not provided. The requirement relates to Phase 2 of the Mid-Cornwall Metro in Newquay, with Cormac programming the diversion works.

For future electricity diversion requirements linked to transport infrastructure in Cornwall, a credible supplier would need the capability to plan and deliver changes to an electricity distribution network while coordinating with the infrastructure project’s programme. Relevant experience would include working on live or planned utility networks and managing interfaces between electricity assets and construction activity. The selected supplier is a large regional distribution network operator, indicating that established network expertise and the ability to undertake targeted works are relevant to this requirement. Suppliers in electricity distribution or specialist utility-diversion contracting may be well placed where they can demonstrate suitable technical competence, safe delivery and effective coordination with the project’s appointed delivery team. The work is a specific network-diversion package, rather than a broad civil engineering or metro construction contract.
