## About this tender

UK Power Networks intends to conduct a procurement event for the provision of Conveyancing Services.

The work will be focused on the operational property requirements of the Distribution Network Operators ("DNOs") which are licensed under the Electricity Act 1989 to run the electricity distribution networks in London, South East and Eastern England. The relevant DNOs are known as London Power Networks plc, South Eastern Power Networks plc and Eastern Power Networks plc, all being subsidiaries of UK Power Networks Holdings Limited.

The main types of matters upon which instructions will be issued are:

- the transfer of freehold sites for use as electricity substations;
- the taking of leases of electricity substations;
- the taking of deeds of grant of easements in relation to electric lines and other plant;
- surrenders and variations of leases
- dealing with opposed S25 Notices; and
- ancillary agreements, for example agreements for lease, relocation agreements etc.

Instructions will be issued by surveyors within the UK Power Networks Operational Property and Consents team who are based in the different regions where the DNOs operate. Instructions will be issued in a standard format using an Acquisition of Property ("AOP") form.

It is expected that the firms will have a portal set up on their websites to which instructions can be sent and regular updates of progress will be posted. Instructions should be acknowledged, and confirmation of the relevant fee earner notified within 24 hours of receipt of the instructions.

Firms will be required to use the standard draft documents which have been devised by the DNOs for use in the relevant areas. The standard documents will be available via a website set up by UKPN and firms will be required to download the relevant document and follow the guidelines issued from time to time by UKPN in relation to the use of the website.

Attendance at regular meetings with the in-house legal team at UKPN with other panel firms will be required in order to discuss processes and any changes to standard documents and legal developments which are of mutual interest.

Firms will be expected to provide a lead partner and fee earners with different ranges of experience for the work and to maintain the teams dealing with matters so far as possible and only to make changes to the team members with the approval of the DNOs.

The number of new matters within this area is approximately 50 per month split across the three UK Power Networks DNOs by

EPN - 24

LPN - 14

SPN - 12
