NGET is seeking feedback from the market through pre-procurement Early Market Engagement (EME) to support and refine its approach to a forthcoming procurement process in respect of the Tilbury-Kingsnorth, Tilbury-Grain uprating project (known as "TKRE"). Economic operators wishing to express an interest for the pre-procurement EME must request a pro-forma Market Engagement Document ("MED"). To obtain the MED please e-mail: box.GP.UKBuyer@nationalgrid.com to request the document. In your e-mail, please state "TKRE - Request for MED" as the subject line. The MED (with all sections completed) should be submitted via email, to box.GP.UKBuyer@nationalgrid.com no later than 13:00 (GMT) on Friday 21 April 2023. The completed MEDs will be used by NGET for pre-procurement EME planning purposes. The market engagement exercise is open to all Economic Operators who are interested (or may be interested) in bidding for the EPC contractor role to deliver the works, directly contracted by NGET rather than as part of a sub-tier contracting arrangement. Please note that invitations to (and information on) future related market engagement events or activities (such as group sessions and further questionnaires) may be provided only to those Economic Operators who have registered by responding to the MED. No further notice of those subsequent events or activities will be given to the wider market. You are therefore encouraged to respond to the MED to register your details and interest. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 31321300, 45200000, 45315100, 45315400, 45351000, 71320000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** NGET is the largest transmission licence holder within the UK, transmitting energy the length and breadth of England and Wales through 7,000 km of overhead line transmission networks, 2,800 km of underground cable and 350 substations to connect local... ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F008074-2023) - **Last Source Update:** 2023-03-20T16:31:46.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-23T00:46:29.564Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-03b47d
