Description

Turbine Supply Agreement (TSA) and Full Service Agreement (FSA) comprising the design, supply, transportation, installation, commissioning operation and maintenance of up to 18 No. Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) for three Orkney Community Wind Farm consented sites at Quanterness, Hoy and Faray.

Total Quantity or Scope

Orkney Islands Council (OIC) is developing the Orkney Community Windfarm projects (the projects), comprising three windfarms in the Orkney Islands, each comprised of up to 6 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) and a maximum export capacity of up to 30MW. This means a total installed capacity for the cluster of projects of up to 90MW. The windfarms are located on three islands one in Quanterness, located on Mainland (Northwest of Kirkwall), with the other sites located on the islands of Hoy and Faray respectively. The projects have all obtained planning consent and two (Quanterness and Hoy) were successful in auction round 4 of the Contracts for Difference allocation, under “Remote Island Wind”. This procurement is for the design, supply, transportation, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of up to 18 No. WTGs. OIC anticipates that the successful bidder will enter into the following contracts: three turbine supply agreements (TSA) (one for each project, covering the design, supply, transportation, installation and commissioning of the WTGs) and three full service agreements (FSA) (one for each project covering the operation and maintenance of the WTGs). OIC may choose to enter into TSAs and FSAs for Quanterness and Hoy only first with an option to enter into a further TSA and FSA for Faray at a later date.

Renewal Options

Maximum renewal for FSA will be 25 years from date of commencement of FSA contract. Option to extend the Full Service Agreement up to the maximum duration stated at II.2.7
