In plain English
Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE Networks) wants to set up a framework agreement with one or more suppliers to provide gasket kits and related materials. These gaskets are needed to replace worn seals when plant and switchgear equipment is taken apart for planned maintenance, or repaired after a fault. The estimated value is up to £366,000 excluding VAT over eight years.
What the buyer wants
• Supply gasket kits and associated materials for NIE Networks' planned maintenance of plant and switchgear assets. • Supply replacement gaskets and materials for unplanned work, including fault investigations, repairs and replacing components where a gasket must be renewed to restore equipment to service. • Maintain this supply under a framework agreement across the eight-year term.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no specific qualifications, certifications or experience requirements, but its scale (up to £366,000 over eight years for parts used on electrical plant and switchgear) means a very small firm would need to show it can supply reliably for the whole term, and the notice gives no detail on how this will be assessed.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
