Marine Survey Framework
Buyer: NATIONAL GRID UK LIMITED →
What is being bought
National Grid is an international Electricity and Gas Network Company based in the UK, with operations in north-eastern US. And one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world. National Grid are looking to set up a multi-year Marine Survey Framework to service offshore cable laying as part of the Great Grid Upgrade and may be utilised in the future for any Hydrogen Pipeline projects as applicable. The Framework will cover the full gamut of survey disciplines required for cable lay and subsequent maintenance. Including Geophysical, Geotechnical, Environmental, Intertidal/landing, Unexploded Ordinance, Maintenance with flexibility to award Turnkey requirements. The Framework is seen as being an important part of National Grid's maritime requirements to allow for a more rapid contracting of surveys potentially in parallel with other project elements that traditionally have been programmed sequentially. All data and associated metadata resulting from these surveys will be required to fall in line with relevant UK and international standards such as IHO S44, EUNIS and MEDIN to enable data archiving and sharing as required. Page 4 to 37 National Grid has committed in our Climate Transition Plan to achieve close to zero emissions by 2050 and science based intermediary targets aligned to a 1.5 degree pathway for our UK Electricity Transmission, System Operator and Distribution businesses. To achieve this ambitious target, we need to ensure all our suppliers are on a similar path and this Framework will look to leverage novel and autonomous technologies to achieve this. The Framework will look to incentivise companies on the Framework to reduce the project footprint where possible. All projects will also require the companies to provide accurate carbon footprint reporting.

Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Marine survey services (71354500); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 71 | 4,535 | 4 median · 28.8 average (1,397 of 4,535 with a bid count) | 3.9 average (1,537 of 4,535 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 6 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

"description": "National Grid is an international Electricity and Gas Network Company based in the UK, with\noperations in north-eastern US. And one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in\nthe world. \nNational Grid are looking to set up a multi-year Marine Survey Framework to service offshore\ncable laying as part of the Great Grid Upgrade and may be utilised in the future for any\nHydrogen Pipeline projects as applicable.\nThe Framework will cover the full gamut of survey disciplines required for cable lay and\nsubsequent maintenance. Including Geophysical, Geotechnical, Environmental,\nIntertidal/landing, Unexploded Ordinance, Maintenance with flexibility to award Turnkey\nrequirements.\nThe Framework is seen as being an important part of National Grid's maritime requirements\nto allow for a more rapid contracting of surveys potentially in parallel with other project\nelements that traditionally have been programmed sequentially.\nAll data and associated metadata resulting from these surveys will be required to fall in line\nwith relevant UK and international standards such as IHO S44, EUNIS and MEDIN to enable\ndata archiving and sharing as required. \nPage 4 to 37\nNational Grid has committed in our Climate Transition Plan to achieve close to zero\nemissions by 2050 and science based intermediary targets aligned to a 1.5 degree pathway\nfor our UK Electricity Transmission, System Operator and Distribution businesses. To\nachieve this ambitious target, we need to ensure all our suppliers are on a similar path and\nthis Framework will look to leverage novel and autonomous technologies to achieve this. \nThe Framework will look to incentivise companies on the Framework to reduce the project\nfootprint where possible. All projects will also require the companies to provide accurate\ncarbon footprint reporting. \nTo register your interest in this Procurement event and to obtain the pre-qualification\ndocumentation applicants are to email: box.gp.ukbuyerngv@nationalgrid.com\nusing the wording 'Registering Interest for Marine Survey Framework (if you have them) your\nAriba AN number (Network ID), name, email address and contact phone number for all\ncontacts within your organisation who will need to receive Ariba messages and administer\nyour online submissions. Following receipt of this information National Grid will invite you to\nthe Ariba event where all the pre-qualification documentation is contained including further\ninstructions. \nPlease note if you have already engaged with us as part of our market engagement and\nRequest for Information activities, National Grid may already have invited you to the Ariba\nEvent upon launch of the tender.",

"description": "A non-intrusive survey to provide an initial assessment of potential routes and assessment of\nthe continued physical security of in-service subsea assets. It is expected that this will\ngenerally utilise Multi-Beam Echo Sounders and backscatter, as well as Side Scan Sonar and\nmagnetometer for some projects. This work includes data collection from the intertidal area\nto offshore and involves a comparison of data from previous surveys. Autonomous platforms\nto reduce the carbon footprint of the operations would be considered for this work and other\nnovel approaches aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the projects are desirable.

"description": "National Grid is an international Electricity and Gas Network Company based in the UK, with\noperations in north-eastern US. And one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in\nthe world. \nNational Grid are looking to set up a multi-year Marine Survey Framework to service offshore\ncable laying as part of the Great Grid Upgrade and may be utilised in the future for any\nHydrogen Pipeline projects as applicable.\nThe Framework will cover the full gamut of survey disciplines required for cable lay and\nsubsequent maintenance. Including Geophysical, Geotechnical, Environmental,\nIntertidal/landing, Unexploded Ordinance, Maintenance with flexibility to award Turnkey\nrequirements.\nThe Framework is seen as being an important part of National Grid's maritime requirements\nto allow for a more rapid contracting of surveys potentially in parallel with other project\nelements that traditionally have been programmed sequentially.\nAll data and associated metadata resulting from these surveys will be required to fall in line\nwith relevant UK and international standards such as IHO S44, EUNIS and MEDIN to enable\ndata archiving and sharing as required. \nPage 4 to 37\nNational Grid has committed in our Climate Transition Plan to achieve close to zero\nemissions by 2050 and science based intermediary targets aligned to a 1.5 degree pathway\nfor our UK Electricity Transmission, System Operator and Distribution businesses. To\nachieve this ambitious target, we need to ensure all our suppliers are on a similar path and\nthis Framework will look to leverage novel and autonomous technologies to achieve this. \nThe Framework will look to incentivise companies on the Framework to reduce the project\nfootprint where possible. All projects will also require the companies to provide accurate\ncarbon footprint reporting. \nTo register your interest in this Procurement event and to obtain the pre-qualification\ndocumentation applicants are to email: box.gp.ukbuyerngv@nationalgrid.com\nusing the wording 'Registering Interest for Marine Survey Framework (if you have them) your\nAriba AN number (Network ID), name, email address and contact phone number for all\ncontacts within your organisation who will need to receive Ariba messages and administer\nyour online submissions. Following receipt of this information National Grid will invite you to\nthe Ariba event where all the pre-qualification documentation is contained including further\ninstructions. \nPlease note if you have already engaged with us as part of our market engagement and\nRequest for Information activities, National Grid may already have invited you to the Ariba\nEvent upon launch of the tender.",
