## Summary

Welsh Government procured services to provide an additional 25 MVA of electrical power to Brocastle in Bridgend, South Wales. The requirement covers a connection offer from the distribution network operator serving South Wales, National Grid Electricity Distribution (South Wales) plc. It also includes a modification application to the National Energy System Operator and a transmission impact assessment. The work is therefore relevant to electricity distribution network operators and specialist power-connection providers with the capability to assess network impacts, manage connection modifications and coordinate transmission-level approvals. The service relates to electricity distribution and associated electricity supply, with delivery in Wales and the wider South Wales network area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to National Grid Electricity Distribution (South Wales) plc. Welsh Government used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition, under the utilities regime. The requirement was treated as a single service package. The award was made on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £28,260 excluding VAT and £33,912 including VAT. Evaluation details are not set out beyond the use of a non-competitive direct award. The contract is active and the award remains active.

This award shows demand for additional electrical capacity at a specific development site in Bridgend and for the network and regulatory work needed to make that connection possible. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need distribution-network expertise, experience preparing and processing modification applications with the National Energy System Operator, and the technical capability to undertake or support transmission impact assessments. It would also need to understand connection offers, electricity network interfaces and the requirements of a South Wales distribution network operator. The incumbent is a large electricity distribution business, so competing suppliers would need suitable engineering capacity, utility-sector experience, strong coordination across network parties and the ability to deliver a complete connection-modification service.
