## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Diversion of Northern Gas Networks Apparatus - Vodafone" project was undertaken by Stockton on Tees Borough Council. This contract, which falls under the "works" category, involves the telecommunications industry and is located in the UKC1 region of Stockton on Tees, United Kingdom. The contract was directly awarded to Vodafone, as they are the sole entity capable of undertaking the necessary diversion of their apparatus to facilitate the construction of a traffic signal junction at the Yarm Back Lane/Darlington Back Lane. The procurement process, characterised by a direct, below-threshold award without competition, was completed with the contract remaining active as of 2026-02-04. The contract period is set from 2025-12-08 to 2026-11-14, with a gross value of GBP 387,632.07.

This tender exemplifies opportunities for large businesses specialising in telecommunications infrastructure to secure significant contracts without the need for competitive bidding. Such direct awards, although limited by the specificities of the service that only the awarded party can provide, underscore the potential for growth within niche sectors where specialised skills and assets are critical. Providers of telecommunications cable and equipment, as well as experts in telecommunications equipment installation, will find such contracts beneficial for strategic expansion and establishing long-term operational relationships with local government authorities like Stockton on Tees Borough Council.

## Notice

The diversion of Vodafone apparatus is necessary to permit the construction of a traffic signal junction at the junction of Yarm Back Lane/Darlington Back Lane. Only Vodafone can undertake the diversion of their apparatus so a direct award is required.
