Tender: Supply and Delivery of LV and MV Cables – SSEN Multi-Supplier Framework (North/South Lots)

About

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks is seeking suppliers to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) cable products, including LV concentric cables, LV waveform cables, selected LV auxiliary “fast runner” cables and 11kV and 33kV cable products. The framework may be called off by SSEN Transmission, SSE Renewables, SSE utility Solution Ltd, TESGL Ltd and SSE Heat Networks Ltd where technically appropriate, and is structured across six geographic lots (LV concentric & auxiliary North/South, LV waveform North/South, MV cables North/South). SSEN anticipates appointing up to three suppliers per lot from compliant, suitable and competitive tenders and will allocate work based on operational requirements, service performance, lead times, product availability, manufacturing capacity, quality performance and overall value. Suppliers may be asked to submit pricing for different allocation scenarios (sole supplier, dual-source and multi-supplier) and are not required to hold full SSEN technical approval prior to framework award, though SSEN technical assessment and approval is required before supplying under the framework. The arrangement aims to improve security of supply, maximise competition, support supplier participation, provide greater demand visibility, deliver value for customers and support SSEN Distribution’s ED3 and ED4 investment programmes.
