    Brief

    Aston University has awarded a contract to National Grid Electricity Distribution plc for electricity connection works needed to establish electrical capacity for the University's new Energy Centre. These works are part of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, specifically the Heat Network Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Upgrades project. The connection works will enable the Energy Centre to connect to the National Grid and operate as a low-carbon facility serving the University. This is a direct award to NGED as the local Distribution Network Operator because the works require specialist interface with the electricity distribution network and cannot be performed by alternative suppliers. The contract is below the threshold for competitive tendering.
