## Summary

The procurement process facilitated by Stockton on Tees Borough Council involves the diversion of Northern PowerGrid's utility apparatus as part of the Durham Lane Cycleway Scheme. The scheme, located in Stockton on Tees, aims to ensure compliance with LTN 1/20 and meet Active Travel England's requirements. This process falls under the 'works' industry category and was completed without competition due to its status as below threshold procurement. The procurement method used was direct, and the project dates span from 9th July 2025 to 1st September 2025, with the contract being signed and activated on the 9th July 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and utilities, particularly those specialising in ancillary works for electricity power lines. With Northern PowerGrid serving as the supplier in this contract, businesses with expertise in utility management and infrastructure development might find similar projects beneficial for growth. The nature of the procurement method, which bypassed competitive bidding, indicates potential that businesses could explore collaborative opportunities or subcontracting activity to align with public authority requirements in future similar projects. Large-scale enterprises focusing on utility service provision or infrastructure modifications will find themselves well-positioned to engage with such initiatives.

## Notice

Utility apparatus belonging to Northern PowerGrid has been identified as a constraint in the delivery of a new footpath cycleway scheme. To achieve a compliant scheme to LTN 1/20 and satisfy the requirements of Active Travel England it is necessary to divert their apparatus to prevent construction issues.
