## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned Northern Powergrid (Northeast) PLC to alter the electricity connection at Store Council Yard, Yarm Road, Stockton-on-Tees. The work concerns electricity infrastructure serving the A66 Elton Interchange to Yarm Road Interchange vehicle restraint system and sign renewal project. It is a local electricity connection alteration, rather than a general supply of power or a wider highway construction contract. The supplier is based in Stockton, and the stated work location is Yarm Road, Stockton-on-Tees, in Cleveland.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. National Highways used a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition. Northern Powergrid (Northeast) PLC was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026, with a period running from 7 July 2026 to 7 January 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT (£18,000 including VAT). The procurement is recorded as one lot, covering electricity connection alteration work. No evaluation criteria or award scoring basis is stated in the procurement details.

This award shows that National Highways buys targeted electricity connection alterations to support highway safety and signage works, and that a regional electricity network operator was selected for the requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability and permissions to alter electricity connections safely at a specified highway-adjacent site, and to coordinate the work with the road infrastructure project. The scale shown here is a small, site-specific connection job rather than a large network upgrade. Suppliers with established local network knowledge and the capacity to carry out focused electricity infrastructure work would be best placed to meet a similar requirement.
