## Summary

The City of York Council recently completed the procurement process for an Independent Connections Provider (ICP), with the award date set for 23rd April 2026. The buying organisation, a sub-central public authority located at West Offices, Station Rise, York, was seeking services for the council’s Highways Team. The procurement falls under the 'works' category and involves services related to engineering and construction, specifically targeting projects concerning pipelines, communication, power lines, and roadworks within the UKE2 region of the United Kingdom. This process utilised an open competition method noted as below threshold, allowing for open participation and included a price-quality ratio of 60:40 as the tender award criteria. Additionally, the contract was valued at £1,200,000 net (gross £1,500,000) and spans from January 2026 to January 2029, with the option for renewal extending further into 2031.

This procurement offers valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, engineering works, and providing sustainable energy solutions. As the tender was well-suited to SMEs, organisations with expertise in repair, maintenance, and installation services can significantly benefit from associating with public infrastructure projects. The contract was awarded to E.ON Energy Solutions Limited, a large enterprise based in Coventry, reflecting prospects for other sizable businesses aiming to collaborate with city councils and partake in similar tenders. Such engagements can build robust connections within the municipal sector, facilitating growth in business portfolios focused on public sector collaborations.
