## Summary

The Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited (NIE Networks), based in Belfast, is currently in the award stage of their procurement process concerning the "Supply of 12kV Expulsion Type Fuse Switch Disconnectors". This procurement, executed via a direct award method, seeks to maintain existing operations by re-engaging the incumbent supplier under contract C214 established in 2021. The procurement falls under the industry category of goods for utilities and involves a substantial financial undertaking with an anticipated value of up to £1.97 million. Commencing on the 19th of January 2026, with key dates indicating the contract period starting from 2nd February 2026 and concluding on 1st February 2028, the location tied to this contract is primarily within the United Kingdom as per UK and Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This procurement presents notable business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies like ABB Limited, who have been active as the supplier. Companies proficient in providing electrical utilities equipment, specifically those capable of handling the technical requirements associated with fuse switch disconnectors, will find this tender advantageous. The strategic use of a direct award for sourcing from an existing supplier implies a preference for continuity and technical compatibility, favouring businesses with established relationships and proven track records in delivering complex utility solutions.
