## Summary

SSE plc is seeking to award framework agreements for "FW Supply & Install - V2 ED2 Rising Lateral Mains Installation SHEPD," which falls under the electrical installation work industry category. This project focuses on Rising Lateral Mains Inspection and Remediation works within Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution's licensed electricity distribution network area, particularly for high-risk, multi-storey buildings. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with the deadline for responses extended to 31 December 2024. The initiative will be carried out in multiple lots, covering various regions including Caledonia and the Highlands and Islands. Contract durations are set for 1440 days, with potential optional renewal terms included.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in electrical installations and maintenance to secure a substantial long-term contract with a prominent industry player. Ideal contenders will demonstrate capacity, capability, and proficiency in handling complex, large-scale electrical infrastructure projects. The winning contractors will be expected to provide comprehensive services, including inspection, testing, condition assessment, and execution of remedial works. Companies with experience in managing service interruptions, trench excavation, and low voltage equipment refurbishment are particularly well-suited to compete in this process, promoting business growth through innovation and collaboration with SSE's strategic objectives.

## Notice

**Deadline to respond has been extended to 31/12/2024** Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution intends to award framework agreements to contractors who have the necessary capacity, capability, and expertise to deliver Rising Lateral Mains Inspection and Remediation works, as fully detailed in the slide pack attached. During RIIO ED2, the Employer accordingly will substantially invest in Rising and Lateral Mains assets to assess and improve these across its electricity distribution network operating area (for SHEPD), focusing on high-risk buildings as a priority, including higher multi-storey buildings which house the most assets and where the Employer's condition-based risk modelling indicates higher risks. The Employer plans to inspect a high volume of buildings, equating to over a third of multi-occupancy buildings in the Employer's licensed electricity distribution network area (for SHEPD) which will support decisions on where Rising and Lateral Mains investment is needed. It will be a significant challenge for the Employer to deliver these volumes and so the Employer will collaborate with partners to deliver this commitment for flexibility, efficiency, resilience, and innovation. The Contractor will be one of these partners. The Employer will require the Contractor under this Rising and Lateral Mains Contract to deliver Services as instructed by issued Task Orders or Call Off Contracts for the following categories: 1. Act as Principal Contractor; 2. Undertake Initial Inspections, Verification, Inspection & Testing and/ or Condition Assessment Reporting of sites; and 3. Address any non-conformances by means of replacement and / or refurbishment works. Such Services shall include but not be limited to: * Low Voltage (LV) * All trench excavation, backfilling & reinstatement (including joint holes) * Replacement and refurbishment of the Employer's low voltage cables and equipment internal to buildings including Service Terminations * Removal and disposal of legacy low voltage cables and equipment * Carrying out jointing activities where required * Submitting and managing PSI (Planned Service Interruptions) * Testing & Commissioning * Producing final records for the Employer's asset registers. This is a re-tender of a previously run sourcing event for Rising Lateral Mains SHEPD, which previously included Design Responsibility. V2.0 tender will not require Design functionalities, only Inspections and Remedial installation works.
