As part of this active tender process, companies are invited to contribute to a project valued at £370,000, involving significant electrical installations and construction works. This procurement, classified under CPV code 45310000 (Electrical installation work), operates under a restricted procedure above threshold and targets a wide array of potential business locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. Interested parties should note that the tender period closes on 6th March 2026, with the contract period starting on 1st June 2026 and concluding on 1st September 2026. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical installation, especially those familiar with high-voltage systems and infrastructure construction. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete in this selective procurement process, which promises to bolster business growth through a substantial governmental contract. Firms capable of providing temporary power solutions during project shutdowns and those with expertise in project management for infrastructure upgrades will find this opportunity particularly advantageous for expanding their portfolios and demonstrating competence on a high-impact project backed by the Ministry of Defence. ## Notice The works required to facilitate uplift of the MIC comprise the following: 1.
