GWM-6797 - Solar PV EPC qualification system

ESB is seeking expressions of interest to obtain a place on a qualification system that will be established for EPC companies to: — design, — procure, — supply, — install, — commission and — maintain all elements of ground-mounted solar farms. The projects will be located in Ireland and the UK, and the qualification system may include projects developed by ESB, ESB joint venture companies (existing or yet to be formed), ESB subsidiary companies or companies ESB Group has a minority interest in. Applicants must be able to provide the full scope of services of a solar EPC contractor, including all associated construction, balance of plant and grid connection works. ESB plans to develop ground-mounted solar farms commencing in 2019, through a pipeline of planned projects. The size of individual projects is expected to range between 4 MW and 100 MW, although some projects could be outside of this range. Applicants should note that the detailed scope and contracting strategy for each project will be determined in any subsequent procurement competition (which may include a further pre-qualification process before the tender phase) and may include some or all of the scope items identified above. In the nearer term, the contracting entity is pursuing in excess of 200 MW of ground-mounted solar sites with a view to delivery utilising the qualification system. While the total number of projects and MW to be delivered under the qualification system throughout its existence cannot be determined at this time, the total number of MWs could substantially exceed 200 MW. Further detail will be available at a later date, once the qualification system is established. Please note this is the same Qualification system established under OJEU notice 2018/S 213-489106, this new notice is being issued because the system duration is indefinite and to allow new applicants to apply. There is no need to apply again if you have submitted an interest previously for this Qualification system via eTenders ref 141709.

0053-Supply and Installation of Solar Panels

An Post needs the supply and installation of solar panels nationwide for a duration of 10 years. The procurement aims to reduce energy consumption, increase renewable energy use, and decrease carbon emissions across An Post's properties in the Republic of Ireland. The project involves installing Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems at approximately 53 identified properties, which vary in size, building type, electrical demand, and grid connection arrangements, leading to variations in capacity and complexity of individual installations. The installations will cover different ESB Networks generator connection categories, including Micro-generation (up to 11 kVA), Mini-generation (11 kVA to 50 kVA), and Small Scale Generation (above 50 kVA). An Post also reserves the right to seek support, maintenance, and/or ongoing enhancement services in future call-off tenders.

26/034 - A Qualification System for the provision of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Operation and Maintenance Services for the Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve

Gas Networks Ireland needs Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) works and services (Lot 1) and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services (Lot 2) for the Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve (SGER). Lot 1 involves engineering, procurement, and construction of infrastructure assets including the jetty, trestle, topside structures, pipelines, above ground installation (AGI), integration with FSRU, onshore terminal systems, and related utilities. Lot 2 covers operation and maintenance services for these assets. The Lot 2 contractor will be novated to the Lot 1 contractor for the EPC, commissioning, and defects correction periods, followed by an initial three-year O&M period and a further O&M period of up to five years. Applicants can apply for one or both lots.
