## Summary

National Highways commissioned UK Power Networks to divert an existing 11kV electricity cable affected by bell-mouth construction works on Stifford Clays Road. The works cover managing the planned power outage, setting up the site under construction design and management requirements, and excavating and reinstating about 130 metres of cable route. They also include installing about 130 metres of 11kV 185Al XLPE cable, excavating and reinstating two joint bays, fitting two straight joints, traffic management and reconnecting the network. This is electrical network diversion and installation work, classified as electricity supply installations. The delivery location is Stifford Clays Road.

The procurement is complete: National Highways awarded the single lot directly to UK Power Networks, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and is active, running from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its gross value is £91,433.78, with a net value of £76,194.82. The recorded evaluation basis is the supplier’s terms; no separate scored award criteria are recorded. The selected supplier is UK Power Networks. The award concerns the cable diversion and associated works at Stifford Clays Road.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from National Highways, this award demonstrates demand for utility diversions coordinated with highway construction. A credible competitor would need the capability to plan and manage an 11kV outage, carry out excavation and reinstatement, install cable and joint bays, make cable joints, manage traffic and reconnect the electricity network. The scope combines electrical distribution expertise with civil works and coordination around road construction. Delivery also involves site setup and construction design and management responsibilities. The buyer used a direct, non-competitive route for this below-threshold requirement, and the selected provider was the electricity network operator. Suppliers would therefore need to show they can deliver the integrated works safely and coordinate effectively with the relevant network and highway activities.»} hooked
