Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited procured the supply of staywire, a stranded-wire product used in its electricity network operations. The requirement is for continued supply under the buyer’s C034 staywire requirement and concerns goods rather than installation or other services. The buyer is Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited, based in Belfast and operating as a private utility under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The awarded supply is classified under CPV 44311000, covering stranded wire. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the selected supplier responsible for providing the specified staywire to support continuity of the buyer’s network supply. This is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and established electrical infrastructure suppliers able to provide stranded wire to a utility’s required specification and supply arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 August 2026 through a direct award to the incumbent supplier, Mosdorfer CCL Systems Ltd, following the previous C034 staywire contract. The stated rationale was to ensure continued supply while the specification was reviewed, with urgency identified as the relevant rationale. One lot was awarded. The award value is £495,000 excluding VAT, or £594,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award is active, and signature was scheduled for 24 August 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open competition. NIE Networks also stated that it intended to run a renewal procurement process after reviewing the specification.

This procurement demonstrates an established demand from Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited for a reliable supply of staywire used in electricity network operations. A credible future competitor would need proven capability to manufacture or distribute stranded wire, maintain consistent product quality and meet the buyer’s technical specification as it develops. Suppliers should be able to support continuity of supply over a utility contract, manage repeat orders and provide dependable delivery and commercial administration. Experience supplying electricity networks, utilities or comparable infrastructure buyers would help demonstrate understanding of operational requirements, specification compliance and supply risk. Businesses with a suitable staywire range, relevant technical support and the capacity to replace an incumbent supplier would be best placed when this requirement next reaches the market.
