## Summary

Shropshire Council is in the planning stages of procuring multi-utility infrastructure for the Oswestry Innovation Park, located in Mile End, Oswestry, Shropshire. This initiative is under the industry category of “works” with a focus on infrastructure development, and it falls under the special regime of utilities. The procurement process is currently in the “planning” stage, having started with a preliminary market engagement notice published on 21st May 2026. Key activities include a market engagement event scheduled for 4th June 2026, followed by a deadline for market feedback on 18th June 2026. The project aims to appoint an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) or consortium by the end of the planning phase, with a contract period expected to begin on 1st November 2026 and potentially extend to 30th June 2029.

This tender provides a substantial business growth opportunity for companies specialising in utility infrastructure like electricity, water distribution, and related services. The project also accommodates small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and encourages diverse business participation. Businesses with expertise in constructing mains connections, substation works, and electrical installations will find this tender particularly suitable. By contributing to this strategic employment site, suppliers will not only grow their portfolios but also play a significant role in bolstering utility access in Shropshire, paving the way for future commercial occupancies and economic development in the region.
