## Summary

UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited, a private utility based in London, has awarded a contract as part of a direct procurement process for the "Supply and Delivery of Fuse Savers" project. The tender is classified under the industry category of "goods," specifically focusing on fuses, and has been organised under the legal framework outlined in UKPGA 2023/54. Despite a comprehensive market review, Siemens Public Limited Company was identified as the exclusive supplier due to their unique technical expertise and rights in the UK, leading to a direct award. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £489,725 and a gross amount of £587,670. Key dates include the contract period start on 22nd July 2025, potentially extending until 22nd July 2030, through a series of renewals.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses that provide specialised electrical components and services, particularly those dealing with the distribution and installation of advanced fuse technology. It signifies growth potential for businesses targeting utility infrastructure and maintenance, aligning with firms capable of delivering technical expertise in electrical engineering solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit as the contract's nature is marked as suitable for such businesses, potentially encouraging partnerships and subcontracting opportunities with larger entities like Siemens. This tender allows businesses to align with exclusive providers, gaining competitive advantages and pursuing innovative developments in the electrical utilities sector.

## Notice

Fuse savers reduce the impact of temporary faults on lateral lines and are installed in series with a fuse to prevent fuse blowing. They are used throughout EPN and SPN.

### Procurement Information

Schedule 5 of PA23 applies when a unique supplier possesses exclusive rights or technical expertise, making them the only viable option, and when competition is absent for technical reasons. Siemens PLC is currently the sole UK license distributor for this product. Procurement, together with Asset Management, have reviewed the UK marketplace, but none of the available options meet the required specification.
