## Summary

The procurement process titled "Uplands Development - Century Link Cable Diversion at Woodhouse Lane Phase 1" is managed by Hampshire County Council, located in Winchester, England. This project falls under the public utilities industry category, specifically focusing on cable diversion to facilitate road widening for a new housing development in Botley, Hampshire. The procurement was conducted via a direct method, classified as a single tender action, with a total contract value of £104,447. The contract period commenced on 1st September 2020 and concluded on 31st December 2020, while the tender was awarded on 26th May 2020 and was published on 20th January 2021.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in utility services, construction, and infrastructure development, particularly those experienced in cable installation and diversion projects. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in trenching, cabling, and working alongside statutory undertakers would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. As the surrounding area develops further, there will likely be more opportunities for businesses aiming to contribute to infrastructure projects that support community growth.

## Notice

In order to create road widening 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 requires 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.
