## Summary

The procurement process was undertaken by National Highways for the reinstatement of pumps at the A421 Marston pumping station in Bedfordshire. This initiative followed significant rainfall in September 2024, which compromised the existing facilities. The project falls under the industry category of "Electricity supply installations" and the main procurement category is "works", with a total contract value of £94,232.94. The award stage of this contract is complete, and UK Power Networks (Operations) Ltd has been appointed as the supplier. The procurement was managed through a statutory undertaking method, considering UK Power Networks is the sole authority for power supply in the region. The contract period spans from 6th March 2025 to 30th September 2025, with the aim to relocate the control kiosk and ensure an uninterrupted power supply at the new pump station location.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth within businesses operating in electricity supply and infrastructure development, particularly those capable of undertaking statutory undertakings. As an exclusive statutory provider in the region, UK Power Networks' involvement illustrates the potential for large-scale projects that require specialist electrical and infrastructure expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with complementary skills in supporting infrastructure projects could find new opportunities through subcontracting or partnership arrangements. The involvement of National Highways highlights opportunities within government-related infrastructure projects that businesses in similar fields may explore to expand their portfolio and industry presence.

## Notice

This scheme is located along the A421 at the Marston interchange in Bedfordshire. Following a significant rainfall in September 2024 the A421 pumping station at Marston interchange was overwhelmed and the electrical supply to the pumps was submerged in water. This scheme is to reinstate new pumps and relocate the control kiosk to higher ground at the north bound entry slip to the A421. Currently there are temporary pumps and generators operating at the pumping station until this scheme is constructed. We would like to secure UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited (CIS) Divert/Connect as the supplier to relocate the cabling and electricity supply to the new location for the pumping station. UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited (CIS) Divert/Connect are a statutory authority for power supply in the East region and we have no alternative power supply companies
