Norway – Construction work – RFI - Procurement strategy for RN station systems.

Elvia is working on procurement and contract strategies and we would like insight into the tenderers ́ experience with different contract set up for new construction, expansions and modernisation of transformer stations (regional network stations). As a result of an increasing need for network expansions, Elvia needs to increase its implementation ability and development rate, so that more regional networks can be built in less time, with limited internal resource access. There is also an increasing need elsewhere in the market, so Elvia must take action to secure its critical deliveries in a pressed supplier market. Elvia is therefore working on strategies that shall contribute to increased standardisation and efficiency in procurements and project implementation. In addition Elvia would like, to a greater extent than today, to secure capacity in the market in the coming years. The targets are sought, among other things, by reducing the number of contracts and interface, increased standardisation in solution choices, as well as entering into efficient framework agreements when preferable. We would like to use this survey to gain input and comments from the supplier market in order to gain better insight into what experience the suppliers currently have and how Elvia ́s choices can affect the competitive situation, implementation ability, reliability of deliveries, technical quality etc., from a supplier perspective. Tenderers who are interested in giving Elvia feedback are asked to register. Relevant tenderers will be invited to Elvia ́s KGV-system, where further details and questions will be made available. All further documentation in this market research will be in Norwegian language.
