Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 1 bid per contract for this buyer (from 21 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,250,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited ("UK Power Networks") is running a preliminary market engagement exercise on behalf of the regulated electricity distribution businesses owned by London Power Networks plc, Eastern Power Networks plc and South Eastern Power Networks plc. Additionally this exercise is made for the benefit of UK Power Networks Holdings Limited's group companies. We are seeking to hear from providers of Land Referencing and Due Diligence Platforms / Solutions. Our high-level requirement is a platform / system for procuring land registry searches easily and quickly to understand ownership of land and restrictions, planning permissions as well as monitoring our ownership and interests. Following completion of this exercise we will conduct a review of the responses received which will potentially result in us refining our requirements and/or developing our procurement strategy.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
