      Qualification System for "Consultancy Services"

      Background and Objective of the Qualification System for Consultancy Services  Background TenneT TSO GmbH (TTG) is one of the top 5 transmission system operators (TSO) in Europe. TenneT is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and further development of the electricity transmission grid, in particular the 220kV and 380kV voltage levels in large parts of Germany. The grid extends from the Danish border to the Alps and, at around 140,000 square kilometres, covers around 40 percent of Germany's surface area. TenneT is accountable for the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances via around 13,500 kilometres of high-voltage lines. This requires continuous investments in maintenance and grid development projects to reduce interference and outage as far as possible and thereby ensure quality and stability. TenneT is hence responsible for several grid development and maintenance projects with national and international reach and notice. For TenneT, security and a stable and high network availability have the highest priority. To achieve this, the organisation must be managed in an efficient and targeted manner. Objective of the qualification system In the frame of extensive transformation processes, which are currently realised in TenneT, and which are planned to be continued, TenneT faces numerous strategic tasks and challenges in the foreseeable mid- and long-term future. For these purposes external consultancy support will be required. In front of this background, TenneT intends to set-up a Qualification system for non- technical “Consultancy Services”. Within this qualification system TenneT aims to proceed tender below and above the actual valid EU-tender threshold for services. Main focus point of the qualification system is the non-technical consulting that is needed for internal management functions that ensures the security of supply and further development of TenneT. In general, the qualification system shall cover all consultancy services for TenneT and its affiliated companies in the field of non-technical consultancy services. This includes all departments and its respective consultancy needs. The focus areas listed below provide examples of the use of consulting service providers but are not exhaustive. They merely provide an overview of the focus areas of consulting demand within TenneT. The specific demand is then tendered and communicated within the pre-qualified suppliers. TenneT aims to award consulting assignments only to pre-qualified partner but reserves the right to award consulting contracts outside the qualification system. Further details on the procedure and the scope can be found in the tender documents for the qualification system.
