## Summary

The Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission PLC has recently awarded a contract for the "Long Term Service Agreement for the Maintenance of Caithness Moray & Shetland HVDC Cable Systems" in the services category. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying organisation is located in Perth, United Kingdom, with the main procurement category being services related to repair and maintenance of electrical distribution equipment.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in repair and maintenance services of electrical distribution equipment to compete. The contract, currently in the award stage, was signed on 28th July 2023. Businesses that can provide long-term service agreements for cable systems may find this opportunity suitable for business growth and expansion. The proprietary nature of the supplied works by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) adds a layer of complexity, making it essential for businesses with expertise in this specific area to engage and potentially secure future similar contracts.

Long Term Service Agreement for Maintenance of Cable Systems on Caithness Moray & Shetland HVDC.

Options: Option to Extend by 29 Months from April 2025

### Procurement Information

Under the Regulations, a Utility can award a contract following a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition whereby: "competition is absent for technical reasons" (clause 48;1;c;ii) The cable systems have been designed, developed, prequalified, type tested, manufactured and installed by NKT - the OEM. The proprietary and intellectually protected nature of the supplied works presents significant design-life uncertainty, in the event a vendor, other than the OEM, would provide the LTSA services. Each component of CMS HVDC cable systems has been prequalified and type tested (in accordance with Cigre TB 496) as part of a complete system. Prequalification and type test verification to this international standard is a fundamental quality assurance for this multi-terminal HVDC transmission system; a key component within the UK's Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS). Introducing cables or accessories from another vendor, which have not been tested as part of the same complete system, to the same standard, would introduce an unacceptable level of technical risk to the Employer's asset.
