Ireland – Electrical services – Qualification System for Electrical Works Contracts in the Republic of Ireland - Cancellation Notice

The Contracting Entity is cancelling this QS - Orsted had an ongoing need to enter into electrical works contracts relating to utility scale onshore wind, solar, BESS or similar projects in the Republic of Ireland. The Contracting Entity wishes to establish a qualification system with a pool of qualified parties (i.e. the Qualified Applicants) that can be invited to specific Competitions under the Qualification System in relation to the procurement and execution of such electrical works. The scope of works under a Contract may include (without limitation) the civil and electrical design, construction, commissioning and testing of electrical substation contestable works, associated low voltage (LV) / medium voltage (MV) / high voltage (HV) cabling, and the grid connection route to connect the Project to the transmission or distribution network in accordance with the connection agreement for the Project and to the satisfaction of the Contracting Entity and the Distribution System Operator or Transmission System Operator. The scope may also include the design, supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and testing of all electrical and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment for the substation which may or may not include the grid transformer. For the avoidance of doubt, engineering, procurement and/or construction or similar works in connection with any solar farm, wind farm, BESS or similar asset which will connect to the Project substation will be carried out by one or more other parties under one or more separate works contracts outside the scope of this Qualification System
