Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves SSE PLC, a buyer based in Perth, UK, seeking to procure "Supply of phase identification unit testing equipment", classified under emergency electricity equipment. The procurement method used is a limited award procedure without prior publication, indicating a unique necessity for this equipment due to its technical specifications. The tender is complete, with the contract signed on 22nd June 2021, following the active award status. The emphasis is on the delivery of testing units along with a five-year service agreement, although the lot for the latter was cancelled.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in specialised electrical equipment and services, particularly those capable of providing unique testing solutions. Companies that can fulfil the needs outlined by SSE PLC, particularly those who are familiar with the operational requirements of the electricity sector and can support the integration of such equipment, will find a conducive environment to compete and potentially expand their market presence. Given the singular nature of the required product, businesses with proprietary technologies that match SSE's specifications are particularly well-suited for this contract.

Procurement Information

There is only one piece of equipment that allows an operative to establish the connected phase and power status without having to connect to the network or enter a customer's property. The PIU also provides other functions that provides other information about our network. We would be unable to fulfil the business as usual ambitions without this product. There are no alternative providers who can offer an equivalent product. As part of the requirements to gain funding though the Network Innovation Allowance process it is a prerequisite that there cannot be a solution already in place. This is also checked by other DNO's as part of the 10-day review process.
