Summary of the contracting process

This procurement, initiated on the 6th of November 2024, by Interconnector Services Limited (a subsidiary of Mutual Energy Limited), involves a tender titled "Maintenance, Emergency Response and Projects Contract". The industry category is classified under pipeline-inspection services (CPV code: 76600000) and focuses on services within Northern Ireland and Scotland. With a selective procurement method, this process utilises a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The main procurement stage is now complete, and the contract was awarded to Scotland Gas Networks PLC. The initial contract term is five years starting from the 31st of October 2024, with an option to extend for another five years.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pipeline-inspection and related onshore services. Companies that can provide high-quality maintenance, emergency response, and project services are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Given the complex nature of the services and the critical infrastructure involved, large and experienced service providers, particularly those with a strong background in gas production and distribution, as well as rapid response capabilities, would stand out. The potential for a long-term engagement, initially five years with a possible five-year extension, also offers a substantial period for revenue and business growth.
