Description of the procurement

The objective of this Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) process is to produce
a short-list of suitably qualified companies who will be invited to tender for a
service provider offering to help EirGrid meet the scope of their responsibilities for
the Integrated Single Electricity Market (I-SEM). This PQQ covers a broad scope
of functional roles and responsibilities for the I- SEM. The RAs are currently in the
process of determining the roles and responsibilities for I-SEM, including
designation of the Nominated Electricity Market Operator (NEMO), in accordance
with the provisions of the Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management
(CACM) Network Code. Until these roles and responsibilities are known with
certainty, the scope offered in this PQQ, as it relates to EirGrid’s final assigned
roles and responsibilities, remains tentative. Indeed, EirGrid reserves the right to
cancel this procurement process should the RAs not approve SONI & EirGrid’s
application for NEMO designation (decision expected in October 2015). The
contract will be awarded for a period of six years with an option to extend
annually for up to an additional 48 months, subject always to the satisfactory
performance of the successful suppliers. While it is intended to use this contract
for the procurement of services falling within its scope during its lifetime, EirGrid
reserves the right to conduct a separate competition for the procurement of any
services. Only one candidate will be awarded the final contract.
Following on from the assessment of Questionnaires, it is envisaged that up to 4
of the highest ranked Candidates will be invited to tender, provided a sufficient
number of suitably qualified candidates is available, and subject to the quality of
those responses received. The selection of Candidates will be on the basis of the
objective criteria and rules stated in Section 7 of this questionnaire.
