## Summary

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited is extending its existing framework for the supply of wood poles, baulks, and plugs, specifically used in their distribution system. This procurement, referenced as C107, falls under the industry category of goods and involves the classification of "Poles for carrying overhead lines" (CPV code 44212224). The framework, active since 2017, is being extended for an additional 24 months, concluding around September 2026. The delivery address is within Northern Ireland (UKN region), and the contract's total value is £41 million GBP. Key suppliers involved include Calders and Grandidge and Rundvirke Poles AB.

The extended framework offers a stable and predictable revenue stream for experienced suppliers capable of meeting the specific demands of the NIE Networks, including preparation orders prior to the 2025 tree felling season.
