## Summary

The procurement process initiated by National Highways pertains to substation construction work, specifically for a loop-in connection to 132kV circuits between Tilbury Tee Point and Tower 4. This contract is categorised under the "works" industry and was conducted using a limited method, described as an award procedure without prior publication due to the supplier's technical capability. The contract, valued at £20,301,377.52, was awarded to UK Power Networks and effectively began on 2nd April 2025. The project is located in the UKJ4 region, with electricity required for construction sites. The procurement stage has been completed, and the decision was made without a competitive call for competition owing to its nature of being outside the directive's scope.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the energy and utilities sectors, especially those with expertise in high-voltage electricity infrastructure projects. Large-scale enterprises with technical capabilities in transformer substation works would have been well-suited to compete if this procurement process were not limited. While the competitive process was streamlined, businesses looking to grow through governmental infrastructure projects can benefit from forming strategic alliances with companies like UK Power Networks to participate in future similar projects. National Highways, as a national agency responsible for public services, may signal further opportunities in infrastructure and transportation-related sectors.
