Description

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified contractors to provide design, supply (including procurement, fabrication/assembly, factory testing, delivery to site), installation, commissioning and maintenance of the electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system at Portsmouth International Port (PIP). The awarded contractor will be responsible for the electrical equipment for the high voltage shore power system from the incoming supply at the port boundary to shore connection and CMS. This includes: • Electrical integration of equipment including, but not limited to, shoreside sub-stations, transformers, frequency convertors, switch boards. • Cable management system (CMS) for the vessel connection system, usually comprising, but not limited to connection cabinet, dispenser(s), cables and plug system. The awarded contractor will be responsible for sub-contracting any specialist works, such as CMS. The council is aiming to award two contracts on 19th December 2023 to the preferred bidder: 1. CONTRACT FOR DESIGN, SUPPLY, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF EQUIPMENT - Value range of £12 - £14m. Following award the contract will start late Dec 2023 /early Jan 2024, with design complete by end of Q1 2024. This will be followed by an 11-month period for manufacture, supply & installation, with a further month for testing & commissioning, completing by 31st March 2025. Contract form will be NEC 4 Engineering and Construction Contract (EEC) with Option A. 2. CONTRACT TO PROVIDE ONGOING MAINTENANCE & SERVICING OF EQUIPMENT - Value is in the range £10,000 - £15,000 per annum. The initial period is for 3 years in the range of £30,000-£45,000. An option to extend for a further 7 years, to a maximum total 10-year term would be in the range of £100,000 - £150,000. Contract form will be NEC 4 Term Service Contract (TSC) with Option A. It is the council's clear preference for the successful Tenderer to enter into a contract on the basis of these terms and conditions, which have not been subject to any material changes. Where changes are proposed that significantly alter the relative commercial and risk positions of the parties to the detriment of the council, this will result in significantly lower scores for this section of the proposal and may even result in bids being set aside in their entirety.

Total Quantity or Scope

BACKGROUND Portsmouth International Port has been awarded £19.8m from the Zero Emissions Vessels and Infrastructure competition (ZEVI), funded by the UK Government and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. The grant will allow the port to embark on a ground breaking decarbonisation project to build and operate a new shore power system serving the 3 largest and busiest berths at PIP, meeting the operational needs of the port and ensuring seamless compatibility with different ship types by March 2025. SSEN have been secured to provide 15MVA to the port boundary. The shoreside power project construction will be managed via a Civils Contractor (to be appointed) following the completion of a detailed design. The civils contractor will be responsible for the construction phase of the project including coordinating with the awarded contractor on the installation of electrical components. WARRANTY OF EQUIPMENT Warranty of equipment - The initial term will be required for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum of 5 years in increments to be agreed.
