## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned UK Power Networks to divert an existing 11kV electricity main at Rectory Road. The work involves replacing the existing three-core 150 EPR cable with 300 aluminium three-core triplex cable, so that the required minimum cable cover depth is maintained beneath a proposed new bell-mouth access road, identified as BM22. This is electrical utility infrastructure work, specifically an electricity supply installation. The work supports construction of the access road by adapting the existing network where it crosses the proposed entrance. The procurement is for this defined diversion rather than general road construction or a wider electricity network programme. The buyer is National Highways Limited, and the named supplier is UK Power Networks.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to UK Power Networks, which also signed the contract. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The recorded contract value is £113,434.26 excluding VAT (£136,121.11 including VAT). The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The award covers the single lot for the electricity-main diversion. The contract records UK Power Networks terms as an agreed metric. No separate scored evaluation basis is recorded; the stated route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers assessing comparable National Highways requirements, this award demonstrates demand for targeted electricity-network diversions needed to accommodate new road access works. A credible provider would need the technical capability to work on existing 11kV distribution infrastructure, select and install suitable replacement cable, and maintain required cover depths where the network crosses proposed road construction. The work calls for coordination between utility infrastructure and highway access construction, including delivery of a defined bell-mouth diversion rather than a general roadworks package. UK Power Networks, a large electricity network operator, was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or a scored set of supplier criteria. Relevant experience in network diversions and the resources to deliver work integrated with highway construction would be pertinent when this buyer next needs similar work.
