Type of procedure: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation
The procedure is accelerated: no
Main features of the procedure: The procedure is conducted as a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Stage 1: submission and assessment of requests to participate (exclusion grounds and suitability) and selection of candidates to be invited. Stage 2: invitation to submit tenders, negotiation rounds where applicable, submission of final tenders and award to the most economically advantageous tender (best price-quality ratio) in accordance with the procurement documents. The contracting entities reserve the right to conduct further negotiation rounds if considered necessary. The Employer reserves the right to reduce the number of tenders being negotiated based on the specified award criteria (Shortlisting of tenders). If the Employer has decided to implement a shortlisting, it is going to inform the tenderers of this no later than the start of the tender and negotiation phase in which the shortlisting will take place. Access to these documents is restricted due to the sensitivity of technical and operational information (critical infrastructure). The contracting entities make use of § 41(4) SektVO.

General information
Additional information: This procurement concerns the conclusion of multi-year framework agreements with call-offs for high-voltage cable jointing services for repair interventions (Jointing Lots) and offshore cable repair logistics and preparedness services (Logistics Lots). The procedure is conducted as a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition and involves joint procurement by 50Hertz Transmission GmbH (Germany) and Elia Asset S.A. (Belgium). Each lot specifies the contracting entity for the respective framework agreement: Lots 1–5 are contracted by 50Hertz Transmission GmbH; Lot 6 is contracted by Elia Asset S.A. The intended framework term for each lot is six (6) years with an option to extend by up to two (2) additional years, subject to the terms of the framework agreement. Services will be ordered on a call-off basis; the exact quantities cannot be determined in advance and will depend on operational needs. For Lots 1–5, call-offs may be issued by 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, 50Hertz Connectors GmbH and 50Hertz Offshore GmbH. Invoices shall be issued to the entity placing the relevant call-off (invoice recipient). For Lot 6, the contracting entity and call-off beneficiary is Elia Asset S.A. Award Limitation: Tenderers may submit tenders for all Lots. For the Logistics category (Lots 1, 2 and 3), the number of Lots that may be awarded to a single Bidder is limited to a maximum of two (2) Lots. If, following the evaluation in accordance with the Award Criteria, a Tenderer is ranked first for all three Logistics Lots (1, 2 and 3), that Tenderer shall be awarded contracts for a maximum of two (2) Lots only. The remaining Lot shall be awarded to the next ranked Tenderer, provided that such Tenderer has submitted an admissible and awardable tender (an "Eligible Tender"), in accordance with the following allocation sequence: - first, Lot 3; - if no Eligible Tender has been submitted for Lot 3, then Lot 1; - if no Eligible Tenders have been submitted for Lots 3 and 1, then Lot 2. Notwithstanding the above, if no Eligible Tender has been submitted for any of the Lots 1, 2 and 3, the Bidder initially ranked first may be awarded contracts for all three (3) Lots. No award limitation shall apply to the Lots in the Jointing category. Access to certain procurement documents is restricted due to the confidential and sensitive nature of technical and operational information. Accordingly, interested parties are requested to express their interest and submit their request to participate via email, as specified in the contract notice. Following registration, an NDA will be provided for signature. Once the NDA has been duly signed and returned, access to the restricted tender documents (Filebox) will be enabled. Questions and requests for clarification must be submitted via the e-sourcing platform within the deadline stated in this notice. Replies of general interest will be provided in anonymised form via the platform. The total value represents the maximum value of the framework agreement.

Lot: LOT-0004
Title: Framework Agreement with Call-Offs – Onshore/Offshore HV Cable Jointing Services
Description: This lot covers the execution of offshore jointing works required for repair interventions on existing high‑voltage cable systems, including provision of the necessary tools/equipment/consumables (excluding free‑issued spares where applicable), qualified personnel and supervision, QA/QC documentation, and interface coordination with other contractors engaged for the overall repair scope. Services are ordered on a call‑off basis; the exact quantities cannot be determined in advance. Where warranty or compatibility requirements apply for certain systems, the related conditions will be implemented as contract‑performance requirements at call‑off level. Services will be provided on a call-off basis. Each call-off is intended to restore the relevant high-voltage cable service object so that it can transmit electricity in accordance with the applicable requirements and/or project documentation. The contracting entity is under no obligation to issue call-offs and the framework agreement does not grant exclusivity. The scope of jointing works to be performed under call-offs includes, inter alia: – execution of offshore cable jointing operations required for repair interventions, – provision of all apparatus, machinery, equipment and consumables necessary for the jointing operations (excluding free-issued spare parts where applicable), – coordination of interfaces with other project contractors involved in the overall repair scope, – deployment of qualified and fully trained personnel and adequate supervision, – quality-related documentation as required for the works. The exact quantities of call-offs, interventions and services cannot be determined in advance and will depend on actual operational needs during the term of the framework agreement. Call-offs may be issued by 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, 50Hertz Connectors GmbH and 50Hertz Offshore GmbH. Invoices shall be issued to, and paid by, the entity placing the relevant call-off (invoice recipient/billing entity). Asset allocation per Lot is defined in tender documents.
