The Technology Partner will be responsible for delivery to site of a designed and tested solution, a complete set of interface specifications, and installation and commissioning of the solution. GBN reserves the right to reduce the scope of the key plant components based on value for money and management of risk. GBN intends to establish Project Development Company(s) (Project Devco), which will provide developer capabilities. The Technology Partner will be responsible for joint working with a Project Devco to connect and test interfacing equipment, complete integrated system testing and complete final commissioning and handover. Subject to affordability, GBN reserves the right to make up to four awards. However, GBN reserves the right to award three, two or only one contract(s) to Technology Partner(s), or not to make any award at all. The decision in relation to how many Technology Partners will be awarded contracts will be taken having regard to the quality of tenders, as well as affordability and value for money considerations. GBN also reserves the right to appoint one or more Applicants as reserve contractors. The terms of the contract awarded to a reserve contractor would be provided in the invitation to submit initial tender (ISIT) documentation. It should be noted that GBN reserves the right not to include provision for a reserve contractor within the ISIT or not to appoint a reserve contractor. The estimated total value is indicative only and is based upon GBN's current understanding of the market, the potential costs of technology yet to be developed and prior to the conduct of the competitive procurement process. Potential Applicants are advised the estimated total value does not include provision of subsequent orders or the nth of a kind (NOAK).
