## Summary

The procurement process for the "STDC-PROC-0575 - BT Openreach Equipment Relocation" project was led by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, located in Darlington, England. The project's industry category is "Site preparation work" with the procurement main category identified as "works." The award was based on a "Direct Award" method, meaning the contract was directly awarded to a supplier without a competitive tendering process. With a total contract value of £40,505.44, the project involved relocating Openreach equipment in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The award was published on 1st December 2025, and the contract spanned from 1st March 2021 to 1st February 2022, reflecting a completed stage of procurement.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses involved in site preparation and infrastructure relocation, especially those capable of managing large-scale equipment changes effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find such contracts beneficial, given the suitability for SMEs indicated in the tender details. Companies with expertise in handling complex ground conditions and telecommunications infrastructure would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities, potentially expanding their operations and securing profitable contracts with regional authorities like the Tees Valley Combined Authority.

## Notice

Existing Openreach apparatus was going to be affected by the planned redevelopment of site so therefore was required to be relocated. During this process Openreach were asked by STDC to lay duct in the West Side of South Gare Road. Due to the ground conditions in the specified area, additional costs were incurred by their appointed contractor. Openreach were paid in advance of the works carried out previously and therefore this fully covers the increase in costs. The authority was not made aware of the increase in costs accrued under this contract until recently which explains the historical nature of this notice. At the time which the authority was made aware it undertook thorough checks to ensure the legitimacy of the charges. The original reference for these works was STDC-PROC-0183.
