Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract is to replace the 2x 15/30MVA 132/11kV transformers at the Harwell South RAL Primary (HARS A1MTB, A2MTB) with 2x new 20/40MVA units o 11kV cabling between new transformers and existing transformer. These works are taking place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.

Procurement Information

The supply is part of the HV supply network within the RAL site. The local supply authority (DNO) SSE (Scottish and Southern Electric - SSE) are unique as they have the engineering and contracting capability to deliver this extension to the HV network which is unrestricted and owned by them, therefore any other supplier would require / subcontract SSE to do the work itself. Further competition would not be possible as all network project work would be instructed to SSE as a Principle Contractor/Principle Designer under CDM regulations 2015. The timetable to deliver this project is critical to STFC as this available power is on the open market to others, and its purchase secures power to several critical new projects. SSE have the availability to deliver this work to achieve this delivery date.
