IES Utility Solutions has been successfully appointed to the Scotland Gas Networks (SGN) GD3 Mechanical & Civil Multi-Site Framework, further strengthening its position as a trusted delivery partner within the UK energy and utilities sector.
The framework will support SGN in delivering civil and mechanical works across its Local Transmission and Distribution gas networks throughout Scotland and the South of England. Through this appointment, IES Utility Solutions will be eligible to tender for and deliver projects that support one of the UK’s most critical gas infrastructure networks during the RIIO-GD3 regulatory period.
James Blanchard, Gas Director at IES Utility Solutions, said:
“Securing a place on the SGN GD3 Mechanical & Civil Framework is a significant achievement for our business and reflects the strength of our people, capabilities and proven delivery track record across the utilities sector. We are proud to support SGN’s investment programme and look forward to working collaboratively to deliver safe, efficient and high-quality infrastructure projects across its network.”
The framework aligns closely with IES Utility Solutions’ core capabilities, including self-delivered civil engineering, mechanical installation, pipeline infrastructure, above-ground installations, fabrication, project management and specialist utility services.
With operations nationwide and a strong focus on safety, innovation and operational excellence, IES is well placed to support SGN’s objectives throughout the framework term.
This appointment marks another important step in IES Utility Solutions’ growth across the gas, electricity, water and multi-utility sectors, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering resilient infrastructure and supporting the UK’s evolving energy network.
IES Utilities Group is pleased to announce that, as of Q1 2026, its operating company IES Integral Energy Services will now trade under the new name IES Utility Solutions.
This change reflects the continued evolution and growth of the business, ensuring that our trading name more clearly represents the sectors in which we operate and the services we deliver across the UK’s critical utility and multi‑infrastructure networks.
Why the change?
The updated name – IES Utility Solutions – provides a clearer and more accurate expression of our capabilities. It better communicates who we are, what we do, and the value we bring to clients across power, gas, water, telecoms and emerging infrastructure markets.
As our service offering has expanded, the previous name no longer fully represented the breadth of our work. The new name strengthens alignment between our brand and our technical delivery, helping clients, partners and stakeholders immediately understand the specialist utility engineering expertise we provide.
A positive step for our future
This name change supports our long‑term strategy:
While our name is changing, our commitment to high‑quality delivery, safety, engineering excellence and trusted partnerships remains exactly the same.
A message of thanks
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our clients, partners and framework stakeholders across the sectors we serve. Your continued support has played an important role in our growth, and we look forward to strengthening those relationships as we move into this next chapter.
