## Summary

The buying organisation, SSE SERVICES PLC, has issued a tender with the title "FW Service - Ireland Wide Area Network Services Onshore/ Offshore" in the services industry category. The procurement stage is at the selective stage with a contract value of £5,000,000. The tender deadline is on August 10, 2023. The contract period is set to start on March 1, 2024, and end on February 28, 2029. The procurement method is a restricted procedure above the threshold, and the delivery addresses include Northern Ireland and Ireland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses to partner with SSE SERVICES PLC to provide wide area network services for their renewable energy locations in remote parts of Ireland. Companies with expertise in telecommunication systems and a track record of delivering reliable and low-latency solutions would be well-suited to compete. The contract value of £5,000,000 over a five-year period offers a substantial growth opportunity for businesses operating in the telecommunication services sector, especially those with a presence in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

## Notice

SSE has a dynamic fleet of renewable locations (wind, solar, battery) often located in very remote parts of the island of Ireland. These remote locations require low latency and reliable high quality on-site telecommunication systems that are critically essential for operating and maintaining these assets in the fleet. This opportunity seeks a partner to provide a standard solution for incumbent locations and cater for additional locations coming on line during the term.
