The Supply Delivery Installation and Commissioning of a Power Distribution System
Description: In accordance with Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the University is issuing this notice to undertake Preliminary Market Consultation prior to commencing any live procurement process. The University of Strathclyde (UoS) seeks expressions of interest from suppliers capable of providing a DC Power Distribution Cabinet (PDC) solution to support the expansion of testing capability within the ANZIC facility. The market engagement will explore supplier capability, technical solutions and delivery models for a requirement expected to include a PDC incorporating active and passive insulation monitoring functionality.
Summary: The University of Strathclyde is exploring the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a DC power distribution solution for expanded testing capability at its ANZIC facility in Glasgow. The planned requirement is for a mobile indoor DC Power Distribution Cabinet supporting multiple DC sources and loads up to 1,500 VDC, with active and passive insulation monitoring, current and voltage measurement, IT-system earthing and safe maintenance access. The cabinet will include high-capacity positive and negative busbars, numerous connection points, thermal management, transportable construction and compliant documentation. The requirement also covers integration of active insulation-monitoring equipment and passive resistor-bridge, current-transducer and voltage-transducer systems. This is primarily an electrical distribution equipment and switchgear requirement, potentially divided across these technical elements.
