[MainsiteplaceWorksDelivery]:

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 the

provision of Employers Representatives Services as required for EirGrid Group.

EirGrid Interconnector Ltd (“EIL”) is the owner and operator of the 500MW HVDC

East West Interconnector (“EWIC”) which was designed, installed and

commissioned by ABB SE and went into full commercial operation in July 2013.

EWIC connects the Irish and UK transmission systems with the UK Point of

Connection located at Deeside 400kV Substation. The associated connection

agreement between EIL and National Grid includes for the Point of Connection to

be transferred to a new station Connah’s Quay in May 2017. National Grid is

currently on programme with the commissioning of Connah’s Quay and the EWIC

outage is scheduled for June 2017.

The connection agreement places the responsibility on EIL to design, build and

commission all interface works associated with the new connection, including the

installation of a new section of HVDC cable and any necessary control and

protection equipment. During the associated outage (approx. 30-40 days) to

undertake the above works, EIL will use the opportunity to progress some or all of

the proposed IT & SCM system at the converter stations in Shotton and Portan.

The project will progress in two phases; Phase 1 includes the scoping and

contract negotiation stages while Phase 2, includes the delivery and

commissioning of the works. The project plan includes the installation and

commission of all works during the 2017 outage; however it is possible that some

or all of this work be executed in 2018.

EirGrid now seek the services of an experienced company to provide personnel

for the role of Employer’s Representative.
