Moyle Interconnector Circuit Breaker Replacement Programme

MIL wishes to speak with organisations capable of providing all or part of the proposed requirements. Individual pre-market engagement meetings are expected to be held during the week commencing 30th November. Meetings may be held online or in person at MIL office in Belfast.

The meetings are intended to help MIL understand:

• available technical solutions and relevant supplier experience;
• compliance with the anticipated electrical ratings, project-specific TRV duty and controlled-switching requirements;
• manufacturing, delivery, installation and commissioning timescales;
• site interfaces, enabling works and outage requirements;
• appropriate contracting and delivery arrangements;
• ability to provide an integrated design, supply, installation and commissioning solution;
• appropriate packaging of the initial and potential future requirements;
• key technical, commercial and supply-chain risks; and
• high-level indicative costs and the principal factors affecting the overall project cost.

Indicative Cost Information

As part of the engagement, MIL intends to seek high-level, non-binding cost information to support budget development and procurement planning. Suppliers may be asked during or following the meeting to provide:

• an indicative cost or cost range for the design, manufacture and supply of the initial four pole circuit breakers;
• an indicative cost for installation, testing and commissioning;
• an indicative unit cost or cost range for additional circuit breakers;
• an indication of any significant enabling or interface costs;
• the principal assumptions, exclusions and cost drivers; and
• any potential economies associated with combining the initial and future requirements.

Any cost information provided will be used for budget development and procurement planning only. It will not constitute a tender or binding offer and will not form part of the evaluation of any future procurement.

How to Participate

Organisations wishing to participate should email [email protected] with the subject line “Moyle Circuit Breaker Market Engagement” no later than 25th November.

The email should include:

Meeting appointments will be confirmed by email, subject to availability. MIL reserves the right to amend the proposed dates or arrange alternative engagement meetings where required.
