Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited has completed a public procurement process for two key projects: the supply of House Service & Heavy Duty Cut Outs, and Lighting Columns & Accessories. The former, designated C103 (2024), involves the design, manufacture, testing, and delivery of these electrical components across three categories: House Service Cut Outs, Heavy Duty Cut Outs, and Heavy Duty Cut Outs with Metering Chambers. The procurement method was selective, with a negotiated procedure involving a prior call for competition. Contracts were awarded with a potential eight-year duration after extensions, beginning 18th January 2024. The latter, identified as C350 (2024), focuses on supplying lighting columns and accessories for Primary and Transmission substations in Northern Ireland. This framework also has a possible eight-year span, starting 21st May 2024. The buying organisation is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, operating under the electricity industry category.

These procurement contracts present significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in electrical apparatus and street-lighting equipment. Companies involved in the design, manufacture, and testing of these goods will find numerous avenues to supply their products to a major utility provider. Large enterprises like Lucy Electrical Limited and SMEs such as Gordon’s Electrical Supplies have already secured contracts, demonstrating the opportunities available for diverse business scales. The selective procurement method ensures only competitive and capable suppliers can enter into these long-term agreements, fostering a stable and lucrative business environment for successful bidders. Businesses interested in participating must demonstrate technical expertise and cost-effectiveness, with evaluation criteria heavily weighted towards cost efficiency.
