Assessment (DSA) software and services, such that TenneT is able implement and operationally deploy Online DSA functionalities to mitigate the risks of the evolving power system with regards to dynamic stability. The software tool for Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) of an electric power grid, specifically Transient Stability Assessment evaluates a power system's ability to maintain synchronism when subjected to a large disturbance, such as a fault, line outage, or sudden loss of generation. It involves analyzing the dynamic response of generators and system components during and immediately after the disturbance to ensure the system can return to a stable operating state. The tender scope includes maintenance and support regarding the software tool as well as expertise/consultancy for during the implementation/integration phase and for during the operational phase. Optionally are functionalities regarding Voltage Stability Assessment, Small Signal Stability Assessment, RMS-EMT co-simulation as well as other current or future functionalities for evaluation of a power systems dynamic behaviour beyond those described above that are beneficial to a control room operator's situational awareness and decision making.

The goals of this tender are as follows:
Goal 1: Procure software tooling for Online DSA, including updates, bugfixes and new versions.
Goal 2: Procure support expertise to facilitate TenneT’s implementation and integration of the procured Online DSA tool.
Goal 3: Procure third-line support during the Online DSA tool’s operation at TenneT.
Goal 4: Procure expertise as needed for optimizing TenneT’s understanding and usage and operation of the Online DSA tool.</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cac:RequestedTenderTotal><cbc:EstimatedOverallContractAmount currencyID="EUR">4300000</cbc:EstimatedOverallContractAmount></cac:RequestedTenderTotal><cac:MainCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">72200000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:MainCommodityClassification><cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">48000000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:AdditionalCommodityClassification><cac:RealizedLocation><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">See documentation in Mercell</cbc:Description><cac:Address><cbc:StreetName>Utrechtseweg 310</cbc:StreetName><cbc:CityName>Arnhem</cbc:CityName><cbc:PostalZone>6812 AR</cbc:PostalZone><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts">NL226</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">NLD</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation></cac:ProcurementProject><cac:ProcurementProjectLot><cbc:ID schemeName="Lot">LOT-0000</cbc:ID><cac:TenderingTerms><ext:UBLExtensions><ext:UBLExtension><ext:ExtensionContent><efext:EformsExtension><efac:SelectionCriteria><cbc:CriterionTypeCode listName="selection-criterion">ef-stand</cbc:CriterionTypeCode><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Sound financial condition</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The Tenderer declares that it is in a sound financial condition and has sufficient financial means to continue its business activities and to perform the Contract.

The award method is 'award by value', whereby the Tender with the lowest evaluation price (fictitious tender price) is the Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
To determine the Tender with the lowest evaluation price, the following formula is used:

Evaluation Price = ''Price' - 'Total scored fictitious monetary value of Quality' 
Quality is divided into sub-awarding criteria which are based on the Best Value approach and are described in tender documentation. Each sub-awarding criterion has been assigned a maximum fictitious monetary value. All sub-awarding criteria of Quality together have a maximum fictitious monetary value of € 9.200.000.</cbc:CalculationExpression><cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode listName="award-criterion-type">quality</cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Level of Expertise document</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Substantiation of performance: maximum fictitious monetary value of € 4.600.000.</cbc:Description></cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode listName="award-criterion-type">quality</cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Risk Management document</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Risk Management of TenneT's risks: maximum fictitious monetary value of € 2.300.000</cbc:Description></cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode listName="award-criterion-type">quality</cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Value Added document</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Propose value adds: maximum fictitious monetary value of € 2.300.000</cbc:Description></cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode listName="award-criterion-type">price</cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Price</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Tender Price as per Price model</cbc:Description></cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion></cac:AwardingCriterion></cac:AwardingTerms><cac:AdditionalInformationParty><cac:PartyIdentification><cbc:ID schemeName="organization">ORG-0001</cbc:ID></cac:PartyIdentification></cac:AdditionalInformationParty><cac:TenderRecipientParty><cbc:EndpointID>https://s2c.mercell.com/today/146415</cbc:EndpointID></cac:TenderRecipientParty><cac:TenderValidityPeriod><cbc:DurationMeasure unitCode="MONTH">6</cbc:DurationMeasure></cac:TenderValidityPeriod><cac:AppealTerms><cac:PresentationPeriod><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">See Mercell environment</cbc:Description></cac:PresentationPeriod><cac:AppealReceiverParty><cac:PartyIdentification><cbc:ID schemeName="organization">ORG-0002</cbc:ID></cac:PartyIdentification></cac:AppealReceiverParty></cac:AppealTerms><cac:Language><cbc:ID>ENG</cbc:ID></cac:Language><cac:PostAwardProcess><cbc:ElectronicOrderUsageIndicator>false</cbc:ElectronicOrderUsageIndicator></cac:PostAwardProcess></cac:TenderingTerms><cac:TenderingProcess><cbc:SubmissionMethodCode listName="esubmission">allowed</cbc:SubmissionMethodCode><cbc:GovernmentAgreementConstraintIndicator>true</cbc:GovernmentAgreementConstraintIndicator><cac:TenderSubmissionDeadlinePeriod><cbc:EndDate>2025-07-17+00:00</cbc:EndDate><cbc:EndTime>10:30:00+00:00</cbc:EndTime></cac:TenderSubmissionDeadlinePeriod><cac:OpenTenderEvent><cbc:OccurrenceDate>2025-07-17+00:00</cbc:OccurrenceDate><cbc:OccurrenceTime>10:30:00+00:00</cbc:OccurrenceTime><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Wil not be opened in public</cbc:Description></cac:OpenTenderEvent><cac:AuctionTerms><cbc:AuctionConstraintIndicator>false</cbc:AuctionConstraintIndicator></cac:AuctionTerms><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="dps-usage">none</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="framework-agreement">none</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem></cac:TenderingProcess><cac:ProcurementProject><cbc:ID schemeName="InternalID">EU-474</cbc:ID><cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) software and services</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The business objective of this tender is to acquire high-quality Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) software and services, such that TenneT is able implement and operationally deploy Online DSA functionalities to mitigate the risks of the evolving power system with regards to dynamic stability. The software tool for Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) of an electric power grid, specifically Transient Stability Assessment evaluates a power system's ability to maintain synchronism when subjected to a large disturbance, such as a fault, line outage, or sudden loss of generation.
