UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Interconnector Services (NI) Limited, acting for Mutual Energy Limited, procured an integrated asset lifecycle management system (ALMS) to support the organisation as its assets mature. The requirement covers software and associated services, including system development, database and asset-management software, implementation and ongoing support. The system is intended to help manage assets throughout their lifecycle; the tender materials contain the detailed scope and requirements. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist technology-services requirement for providers able to supply and implement an asset lifecycle management system for a utility organisation, rather than a general IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Engineered Intelligence Inc. The award is pending, with a standstill period ending 7 October 2026. The award value is £500,000 gross. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible two-year extensions, giving a maximum period to 31 October 2033. The award date is 28 September 2026. The buyer used an open competitive flexible procedure. There was one lot. The process had a stated estimated tender value of £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 gross). Price was identified as an award criterion, with further evaluation detail set out in the pre-qualification questionnaire.

This award demonstrates demand from Mutual Energy for a lifecycle-management platform that can support a utility’s maturing assets, together with the software implementation and support needed to put it into use. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement should be able to show an integrated asset lifecycle management solution, relevant software and systems expertise, and the capacity to deliver implementation and continuing support. Experience with database and system-management software, and with the needs of utility organisations, is directly aligned with the scope. The award was made through an open competitive flexible procedure, with price named as a criterion; a credible future competitor should therefore be able to demonstrate value as well as a technically suitable service. The contract includes a substantial initial term and potential extensions, signalling a long-running service requirement.
