FW Supply & Deliver - 11kV Indoor Switchgear - Multi Site 0637
Authority: Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution plc·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionScottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution plc and Southern Electric Power Distribution plc (SSEN) intends to establish multi-supplier Framework Agreements for the design, manufacture, testing, supply and delivery of 11kV indoor metal-enclosed primary switchgear for use across the SSEN Distribution network.
The Framework will support asset replacement, network reinforcement, customer connections and strategic investment programmes throughout the remainder of ED2, ED3 and the early years of ED4. Current planning assumptions indicate forecast demand of approximately 2,600 switchgear panels over the anticipated Framework lifecycle, although these volumes are indicative only and no minimum volume or value of work is guaranteed.
The procurement is structured across four lots:
Lot 1: Conventional CT/VT Fixed-Pattern Switchgear
Lot 2: LPIT-Enabled Fixed-Pattern Switchgear
Lot 3: Conventional CT/VT Withdrawable Switchgear
Lot 4: LPIT-Enabled Withdrawable Switchgear
The Framework will support SSEN's wider switchgear standardisation strategy, intended to improve affordability, manufacturing efficiency, security of supply, supply-chain resilience, lead-time performance and whole-life asset value through increased standardisation and product rationalisation.
Fixed-pattern switchgear remains SSEN's preferred architecture and is expected to account for the majority of Framework demand. Dedicated withdrawable lots have been included to support specific project requirements and future network investment needs.
The scope may include, but is not limited to:
- 11kV indoor metal-enclosed primary switchgear;
- fixed-pattern and withdrawable switchgear assemblies;
- conventional CT/VT and LPIT-enabled instrument transformer solutions;
- protection and control interfaces;
- manufacturer testing and certification;
- technical support and engineering assistance;
- installation and commissioning support services;
- training, warranty and after-sales support;
- spare parts and lifecycle support; and
- associated software, firmware, cyber-security support and obsolescence management activities where applicable.
Applicants may apply for one, multiple or all lots. Framework appointments and subsequent call-off opportunities will be awarded in accordance with the procurement documents.
- How the procedure runs: All interested parties are welcome to view the Opportunity Listing in our Source to Contract System, Jaggaer. Under 'Current Opportunites' you will find all the details on how to register and be invited to the Pre Qualification Questionnaire in Jaggaer: https://sse.app.jaggaer.com/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=454 All criteria for the PQQ are included in the link above and on registration to participate in the PQQ. All eligible suppliers will be invited to participate in the tender (ITT) where all relevant critera will be provided.

How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Open framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Framework period
- 8 yrs · up to 10 yrs from 1 Jul 2027
Who may buy through it
In addition to the establishing contracting authorities, the Framework may be available for use by other eligible SSE Group entities. The full list of participating entities and any conditions relating to Framework access will be detailed within the Invitation to Tender documentation and the resulting Framework Agreement.
Published description of the framework
Suppliers will be appointed to the Framework following completion of the competitive procurement process described within the procurement documents.
The Framework is anticipated to comprise four lots covering:
- Lot 1 – Conventional CT/VT Fixed-Pattern Switchgear
- Lot 2 – LPIT-Enabled Fixed-Pattern Switchgear
- Lot 3 – Conventional CT/VT Withdrawable Switchgear
- Lot 4 – LPIT-Enabled Withdrawable Switchgear
Suppliers may apply for one, multiple or all lots. Framework appointments will be made separately for each lot.
Framework awards will be made to the suppliers submitting the most advantageous tenders in accordance with the evaluation methodology detailed within the procurement documents.
Public contracts may be awarded either directly or following a competitive selection process between the suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Framework Agreement.
Prices may be established through supplier framework pricing schedules, agreed pricing mechanisms, project-specific quotations and/or further competition, as detailed within the Invitation to Tender and Framework documentation.
SSEN currently anticipates appointing multiple suppliers to each lot, although the final number of framework suppliers appointed to each lot will be determined through the procurement process and may vary by lot.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 56 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
