## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority procured power connection works for a site in Erdington, Birmingham, as part of its EV CATS project. The requirement is categorised as electrical engineering installation works and concerns the infrastructure needed to connect power at the project site. The Combined Authority is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is Erdington in the West Midlands. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity, so it is relevant to electrical contractors, power connection specialists and infrastructure businesses able to undertake site-based installation works for public-sector projects. The procurement relates to one completed requirement for this buyer and project, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the connection works.

The procurement was awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The tender reached completion and the contract was awarded to High Voltage Systems and Services Limited on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 16 December 2026. Its value is £195,857 excluding VAT, or £235,028.40 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for the Erdington power connection requirement. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient, and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender: the route was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This procurement shows demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist electrical infrastructure supporting an electric-vehicle project. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be electrical engineering contractors with practical experience of power connections, site installation and coordination of infrastructure works for public-sector or major development projects. Credibility would depend on demonstrating the technical capability to deliver a complete connection requirement safely and reliably, manage site activities and meet the buyer’s delivery expectations. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of specialist small or medium size can satisfy this type of requirement. Firms with a focused power-connection offer and evidence of comparable completed installations would be the closest competitors when this buyer next needs similar work.
