Opportunities for supply chain partners in Scotland for the delivery of new and upgraded critical national infrastructure

SSEN Transmission has today [27 March] launched a new procurement process, inviting applications from new and existing contractors, for the delivery of key elements of substation development as part of its RIIO-T3 and networks renewals investment programme and beyond.  

The framework agreement open for pre-qualification will reflect SSEN Transmission’s new maximum value for moderate substation works, with the threshold increasing from £20m to £40m – allowing contractors who have already secured work, and new potential contractors, to submit their pre-qualification applications for the delivery of other crucial elements of the company’s substation developments, including associated subsidiary overhead line and underground cable work. 

Framework agreements which will help deliver projects right across the north of Scotland with a combined estimated value of up to £1.4bn are up for grabs, with contractors having been invited to fill out the company’s Pre-Qualification Questionnaire to register their interest and put themselves forward for the works via the Achilles UVDB platform.
