This framework will support the delivery of complex, high-risk and high-value capital programmes across the Port, where the coordination of multiple disciplines is critical.

Our role will allow us to provide flexible electrical engineering expertise across a wide range of activities, from inspections and feasibility studies through to asset assessment, detailed design and reactive or emergency works.

The framework will run for an initial three-year period, with the option to extend for a further two years and will operate through ad-hoc design packages commissioned via NEC4 PSC and PSSC Work Orders.

These will be awarded through a combination of mini-competitions and direct awards, enabling rapid mobilisation and on-site support when required.

Steven Muscat, Head of Engineering at UK Power Network Services, said: “Being appointed to the Port of Dover’s design framework is a fantastic endorsement of our electrical engineering capability and our experience working in complex, operational environments. We’re looking forward to supporting the Port with agile, high-quality design solutions that help enable safe, resilient and future-ready infrastructure.”

This appointment strengthens our relationship with the Port of Dover and marks an exciting opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of one of the UK’s most strategically important transport hubs.
