## Summary

National Highways Limited procured a new unmetered electricity supply connection for the Berwick Bypass weather station in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. The works covered low-voltage mains and service cabling, excavation and reinstatement, electrical jointing, installation of a pole-mounted transformer, and connection to the electricity distribution network. This is an electrical installation and network-connection requirement, rather than a general weather-station supply contract. The single-lot project was intended to provide the infrastructure needed to power the weather station. Delivery was at the Berwick Bypass weather station in Northumberland.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Scottish Power. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covered one lot; the contract was signed on 19 February 2026. Its value is £37,985.08 excluding VAT (£45,582.09 including VAT), and the contract period runs from 11 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. Evaluation criteria and a competitive selection process are not reported; this was a non-competitive award.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from National Highways, this award shows demand for a tightly scoped electricity-distribution connection serving a roadside monitoring asset. Credible delivery capability would include installing low-voltage mains and service cables, carrying out excavation and reinstatement, electrical jointing, fitting a pole-mounted transformer, and completing a connection to the distribution network. Suppliers would need to coordinate civil and electrical activities at a highway-related site and deliver a functioning unmetered supply. Scottish Power, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not demonstrate how competing bids would be assessed. Businesses combining electrical installation expertise with the ability to manage the associated groundworks and network connection are the closest fit for this requirement.
