## Summary

The procurement process titled "Waster Connection" involves the installation of a water connection for a tenant, executed by the Tees Valley Combined Authority. This direct award, classified under the construction work industry, was necessitated by an error in the original request for quote process, leaving insufficient time for a competitive tender. The procurement falls within the "works" category and the project is located in the North East of the United Kingdom, specifically in Darlington. Key dates include the contract period from 10th March 2025 to 10th May 2025. The procurement method used was 'Other - Direct Award,' indicating a direct approach to supplier engagement without further competition.

This award to Applebridge Construction Limited presents significant growth opportunities for construction firms equipped to handle water connection installations and related infrastructure projects. As the contract is valued at £99,188.26 and spans a two-month period, it underlines the importance of readiness and rapid mobilisation capabilities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as stipulated in the procurement’s suitability criteria. Companies operating in the construction sector and possessing relevant expertise or a local presence in the North East region may find this type of contract highly compatible with their business objectives.
