## Summary

Northern Powergrid Limited has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of a wood pole support system, which falls under the industry category of ancillary works for electricity power lines. The contract, signed on 7th August 2024, involves supplying wood pole supports for high voltage and low voltage networks across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the electrical utilities sector, particularly those that can offer subcontracting services for the installation and maintenance of the wood pole support system.
