[InfoAdditional]

There is a large volume of information that would not be possible to include in a notice e.g. 71 contracts awarded across 24 lots to 15 suppliers. Some existing contracted providing units submitted tenders for lots in error or submitted tenders that ultimately did not result in any change to contracted capability following testing and some units submitted tenders to amend existing contracted capability but decided to no longer contract for a service prior to contract execution. These lots are not included in the notified awarded contracts/volumes. A broadcast notification will be issued on eTenders to all parties who registered an interest with the names of all successful tenderers and their applicable lots and the contracted volumes for all lots together with the forecast expenditure. The names of all successful tenderers and their applicable lots and the contracted volumes for all lots together with the forecast expenditure will also be published on the EirGrid and SONI websites in due course.
