You can choose who carries out certain elements of the connection work. This is known as contestable work and can be completed by an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) or an Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO ).
Alternative Connection Providers
There are a number of Alternative Connection Providers active in the SP Distribution (SPD) and SP Manweb (SPM) areas.
For your safety, ICPs and IDNOs must possess the appropriate accreditations to carry out contestable works.

A list of accredited ICP and IDNO companies can be found on the Lloyds Register website.
