## Summary

Northern Trains Limited, a public authority under central government based in York, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process titled "PVAL - Civils Enabling Works." This contract falls under the construction and civil engineering sector and was awarded to Forte Engineering Ltd on 7th October 2025. The procurement was conducted using a "limited" method due to its classification as below threshold, leading to a limited competition. The contract, valued at £187,800.99, involves cabling and installation work associated with the PVAL head infrastructure, to be carried out in the UKE21 region. The contract period is set to start on 24th October 2025 and conclude by 7th May 2026.

This award presents a notable growth opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering and construction work. Companies proficient in cabling, installation, and supporting civil engineering services are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Given that the contract was executed under a limited competition framework, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Forte Engineering Ltd, an SME based in Glasgow, can leverage their niche capabilities to participate in such procurements efficiently. Businesses aiming to enter or expand within the public utilities sector should keep abreast of upcoming opportunities similar to this project.
