Summary of the contracting process

Interconnector Services (NI) Limited is procuring a control and instrumentation panel service provider for its gas-industry infrastructure. The requirement covers inspection, maintenance, response and management services for instrumentation and control panels, together with designing and implementing new parts of the control and instrumentation panel system through the buyer’s change-control process. The provider will work alongside the Maintenance and Emergency Response Contractor and may also undertake additional ad-hoc project work. This is a services contract for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a private utility operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The requirement is classified as professional services for the gas industry, so it is relevant to specialist instrumentation, control systems and industrial maintenance providers serving energy or comparable process environments.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It begins with a pre-qualification questionnaire stage for interested and qualified parties, followed by invitations to submit detailed proposals at the ITT stage. Expressions of interest were due by 14 October 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The buyer’s award period ends on 31 March 2027 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 September 2033, with a three-month mobilisation period and a potential extension to 30 September 2037. Evaluation is based on price and quality. The published procurement value is £0 gross; the lot value is published as AED 0 gross.

This opportunity suits established providers with practical capability in instrumentation and control-panel inspection, planned and reactive maintenance, emergency response and service management. Suppliers should be able to design and implement modifications or new control-system elements while following a formal change-control process, and coordinate delivery with another maintenance and emergency-response contractor. Experience of safety-critical, industrial or gas-sector environments would be directly relevant to the scope. The requirement also favours organisations able to provide a dependable long-term service, respond to operational issues and support additional project work alongside routine services. Interested organisations must first demonstrate their suitability through the pre-qualification questionnaire before being invited to submit a detailed proposal. English-language electronic submissions are permitted through the buyer’s supplier portal.
