NIE Networks have a requirement for the provision of a Voltage discrimination device capable of distinguishing between High Voltage and Low Voltage Paper Insulated Lead Covered (PILC) underground cables. The device must clearly identify to the operator that the cable to be worked is live at Low Voltage or is live at High Voltage or indication that identification of voltage is not possible. It is preferable that this is achieved without opening any part of the cable. NIE Networks’ underground cable network where the voltage discrimination is required operates between 240V and 11,000V. The voltage discrimination by the device must be able to be carried out at the point in which the cable is to be worked on. The device must be capable of determining the voltage of the PILC cable at that point of work. NIE Networks would like to invite vendors with relevant products or specialist knowledge to participate in an online supplier meeting on 12th October 2023 relating to these requirements. At this session NIE Networks will outline an overview of the requirements, gain feedback on particular elements from the audience and consider various technical options. The feedback gained may be used to add to the procurement strategy. Suppliers should register their interest via eSourcingNI by Thursday 28th September providing the name(s) of who will attend. NIE Networks may shortlist attendees on the basis of direct relevant experience. Please note a separate Call for Competition in form of a FTS Contract Notice will be published on eSourcingNI. Any interested parties will still be required to apply separately when launched & expressing an interest in the market engagement shall in no way be accepted as registering an interest. Additionally, expressing an interest in the market engagement will not be a prerequisite in relation to the future tender competition. Please note this is not a Call for Competition. NIE Networks will be restricting the number of attendees to no more than two (2) representatives from your organisation who can attend the session. Project C407 (2023) has been created on eSourcingNI where parties can register their interest to attend the session. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 31642000 - **Delivery regions:** UKN - **Description:** NIE Networks have a requirement for the provision of a device capable of discriminating between High Voltage and Low Voltage Paper Insulated Lead Covered (PILC)underground cables and providing indication the status of the cable to be either Live at L... ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F026284-2023) - **Last Source Update:** 2023-09-06T09:05:28.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T04:15:25.593Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-03fa55
