Tender: Multi-Site Contestable Utility Connection Works in London – Power, Water & Telecommunications

About

We are seeking applications from suitably qualified and accredited Independent Connection Providers (ICPs), Self-Lay Providers (SLPs) and multi-utility contractors to deliver contestable utility connection works across several active construction sites in London. The contract covers design, procurement, excavation, installation, testing and commissioning of primary utility infrastructure for power (HV/LV distribution and substation connections), water (main tapping, metering, chlorination and adoption preparation) and telecommunications (ducting, chambers and fibre integration), with the estimated contract value shown as a per-site average. Scope includes HV/LV cable installation, substation base construction, transformer positioning and jointing to UK Power Networks adoption standards; main water connections, boundary box installation, site distribution pipework, pressure testing, chlorination and water sampling to Thames Water/Affinity Water standards; and Openreach/Virgin Media/Altnets-compliant ducting and footway chambers, cable pulling, lead-in installation and box terminations for telecoms. Works will occur in high-density London environments requiring NRSWA compliance and highway permits (Section 50/171), traffic management arrangements and adherence to London Borough/TfL permit systems, PAS 128 utility mapping and GPR scanning prior to excavation, and compliance with London NRMM emissions and FORS Silver/Gold requirements. The authority may award the scope as a single multi-utility package or split into trade-specific lots (Water, Power, Telecoms) depending on response quality.
