## Summary

National Highways Limited procured works to connect feeder pillars at various sites on the M32. The requirement is an electrical installation project, covering the connection of feeder pillars used to supply roadside or associated highway equipment. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, the central government public authority responsible for the procurement. The tender title identifies the M32 as the work area, but does not identify individual sites. The awarded supplier is National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) Plc, a large electricity distribution business based in Plymouth. The scope is therefore relevant to electrical contractors, distribution network operators and infrastructure businesses able to carry out feeder-pillar connection works for a major highways authority. The procurement is categorised as works, with the associated classification describing other electrical installation work.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) Plc. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026, the award date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £175,875.36 excluding VAT, or £211,050.43 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the M32 feeder-pillar connection works. The published outcome records no competitive tendering, shortlist or scored evaluation basis: the supplier was appointed through the stated direct-award route. The contracting process and the resulting contract are both recorded as complete or active respectively, with performance due during the stated contract period.

This award signals demand for specialist electrical installation work associated with highway infrastructure and feeder-pillar connections. Businesses considering comparable work for National Highways would need practical capability in connecting and commissioning electrical infrastructure at multiple motorway or trunk-road locations, together with the operational capacity to coordinate site activity across an estate rather than a single premises. Credibility would come from demonstrable delivery of comparable highway, utility or network-distribution works, competent electrical installation teams, and the ability to work safely around live infrastructure and traffic-sensitive environments. Experience of planning access, outages, inspections, testing and handover would strengthen a future proposition where relevant to the technical specification. Electricity distribution operators and established electrical contractors are the clearest peer group indicated by this procurement.
