## Summary

Advance Northumberland (Commercial) Limited has awarded a concession contract for the operation of the newly established Northumberland Energy Park Dock, located in Cambois, Northumberland, UK. This contract covers the provision of port operation services and extends over a period of ten years, with an option to extend for a further five years. Notably, a manufacturer of subsea cables is given priority use of the dock facilities. The procurement process involved a structured service concession, emphasising both quality and price, and concluded with the award to Blyth Harbour Commission trading as Port of Blyth, with the contract active since 13th March 2026. The services will include managing cargo handling and storage, berthing, and comprehensive port management services at the site.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in port operations and related industries, particularly those offering specialised services in cargo handling, port management, and waterway operations. With a substantial estimated contract value corrected to £12,495,000, this concession fosters business growth and development, especially for larger enterprises capable of meeting the operational demands of a busy dock facility. Smaller local businesses may also benefit indirectly by collaborating with larger entities engaged as subcontractors or service partners, thereby bolstering local economic development around the Northumberland Energy Park.
