National Grid TSMS (Total Supplier Management Solution).

Descriptions

This QSN includes all service categories 1 - 27This notice is to indicate that National Grid Plc will use the UVDB system, which is managed by Achilles Information Limited, as a system for the registration of suppliers, contractors andservice providers (vendors) for the purposes ofawarding contracts of any value that are fully covered by the EU procurement legislation and may use it for other contracts. This notice represents a call for competition under the relevant legislation.When selecting suppliers to tender for contracts, for certain types of contract it considers to represent a high risk to its operations, National Grid Plc will require suppliers to be on the UVDB and audited using the Achilles Verify supplier audit system. These types of contract are indicated below, identified by Achilles code numbers. Suppliers must ensure UVDBregistration and completion of a Verify B Auditfor selection for tender lists for these types ofcontracts.This notice also includes Achilles code numbers forother contracts, where National Grid Plc considers the risk to its operations as lower. In order to be considered for selection for Medium Risk a UVDB and Verify A is required.ender lists for these types of contracts only UVDB registration is required initially and in order to be considered for selection for Low Risk UVDB registration is required for tender lists for these types of above threshold contracts, only TSMS registration is required. Low risk suppliers who wish to be considered for over threshold contracts will be required to register on UVDB as well.The following product, service and works classifications represent the UVDB coding structure as available on the day this notice was issued.Vendors not already registered on the UVDB should apply to Achilles using the contact details at section 1.1 in order to ensure that their details are available to subscribers considering awarding contracts both above and below the EU thresholds.Vendors already registered on the UVDB should ensure that their registration details are up to date by visiting http://one.achilles.com and logging in using the detailsHIGH RISK1.1.27Industrial Consumables -1.1.32Lifts & Escalators -1.4.1Telecommunications Equipment & Accessories -1.4.3Voice Processing & Other Speech Related Products -1.4.4Telecommunication Transmission Equipment -1.4.5Telemetry Equipment -1.4.6SCADA & Telecontrol Equipment -1.4.7Mobile Radio Equipment -1.4.8Microwave -1.4.9Antennae/Aerial Masts -1.4.21ISDN Equipment -1.4.23PABX Equipment -1.4.24Payphones & Spares -1.4.25Communication Tower Steel Structures -1.4.27Synchronising Equipment -1.4.28Satellite Communications Equipment -1.4.29Radar Equipment -1.4.99Other Telecommunications Equipment -1.5.5Network Equipment & Accessories -1.6.1Waterproof Clothing -1.6.2Protective Clothing -1.6.3Work Wear/Corporate Clothing -1.6.5Footwear -1.6.6Personal Protective Equipment -1.6.99Other Clothing & Footwear -1.7.4Fire Fighting Equipment -1.7.5Fire/Gas Detection/Protection Systems -1.7.6Fire Protection Materials -1.7.99Other Security & Firefighting Equipment -1.8.1Passenger Cars -1.8.2Vans - Car-derived -1.8.3Commercial Vehicles -1.8.6Specialist Vehicles, Tankers, Bodies & Trailers -1.8.7Tyres & Tubes -1.8.8Cable/Pipe Laying Plant -1.8.9Mobile Plant -1.8.10Trenchless Equipment -1.8.11Access Platforms & Equipment -1.8.12Horticultural Equipment -1.8.14Garage Equipment -1.8.15Vehicle/Mobile Plant Parts & Accessories -1.8.16Boats & Marine Vessels -1.8.17Bicycles & Spares -1.8.18Railway Equipment -1.8.19Passenger Loading Bridges -1.8.20Baggage Trolleys -1.8.21Fuel Delivery, Storage & Dispensing Equipment -1.8.98Other Transport -1.8.99Other Mobile Plant -1.9.4Conveyor Systems incl.
