## Summary

The recent award by Hampshire County Council pertains to the Uplands Development project, specifically for the Century Link Cable Diversion at Woodhouse Lane Phase 2 in Botley, Hampshire. This project, categorised under Public Utilities, involves the diversion of existing communications cabling to facilitate road widening and new roundabouts due to ongoing housing developments. The total estimated value of the contract is £122,691, and the work is to be performed by Instalcom on behalf of Century Link. The contract period commenced on 15 October 2020 and concluded on 26 February 2021, with the project having progressed through the direct procurement method via a single tender action, reflecting its status as a low-value contract.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil engineering and utility infrastructure, especially those specialising in telecommunications services and road construction. Companies that can effectively manage cabling and trenching work, as well as those equipped with the necessary operational capabilities to carry out statutory undertakings, would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging with Hampshire County Council and familiarising oneself with the procurement process may further enhance opportunities for growth in this sector.

## Notice

In order to create road widening and new roundabouts in vicinity of a new housing development, existing communications cabling infrastructure belonging to Century Link must be diverted at Woodhouse Lane, Botley to enable road widening to take place. This is the second phase of installation of new trenches, approx 4km of cabling, draw pits and control boxes. Since Century Link are the statutory undertaker they are required to carry out the work to their own installation, in this case using their appointed contractor Instalcom.
