Northern Powergrid TSMS (Total Management Solutions).

Descriptions

This QSN includes all service categories 1 to 27.This notice is to indicate that Northern Powergrid Limited and associated companies including Northern Powergrid (Northwest) Limited and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) Plc will use the UVDB system, which is managed by Achilles Information Limited, as a system for the registration of suppliers, contractors and service providers (vendors) for the purpose of awarding 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 contracts it considers to represent a high risk to its operations, Northern Powergrid Limited and associated companies including Northern Powergrid (Northwest) Limited and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) Plc will require suppliers to be on the UVDB and audited using Achilles Verify supplier audit system. These types of contracts are indicated below, identified by Achilles code numbers. Suppliers must ensure UVDB registration and completion of Verify audit requirements to be considered for selection for tender list for these types of contracts.This notice also indicates Achilles code numbers for other contracts, where Northern Powergrid Plc considers the risk to its operations as lower. In order to be considered for selection for Medium Risk tenders lists for these types of contracts only UVDB registration is required initially and in order to be considered for selection for Low Risk tender lists for these types of below contracts, only TSMS registration is required. Low risk suppliers who wish to be considered for above threshold contracts will be required to be registered on the UVDB as well.The following works, services and supplies 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 in section l.1 in order to ensure that their details are available to Northern Powergrid considering awarding contracts both above and below EU thresholds. Vendors already registered on UVDB should ensure their registration details are up to date.High Risk1.1.32Lifts and Escalators1.1.37Gas bottles1.3.21Printing and Photographic Chemicals and Materials1.4.4Telecommunication Transmission Equipment1.4.5Telemetry Equipment1.4.6SCADA and Telecontrol Equipment1.4.8Microwave1.4.9Antennae/Aerial Masts1.4.25Communication Tower Steel Structures1.4.27Synchronising Equipment1.4.28Satellite Communications Equipment1.4.29Radar Equipment1.5.3Computer Hardware — Mainframes1.5.13Remote control and telecontrol systems1.6.2Protective Clothing1.6.6Personal Protective Equipment1.6.8First Aid Kits and Supplies1.7.4Fire Fighting Equipment1.7.5Fire/Gas Detection/Protection Systems1.7.6Fire Protection Materials1.7.7Insulated stools and rugs1.7.10Protection equipment for live working1.7.99Other Security and Fire-fighting Equipment1.8.16Boats and Marine Vessels1.8.18Railway Equipment1.8.19Passenger Loading Bridges1.8.21Fuel Delivery, Storage and Dispensing Equipment1.9.4Conveyor Systems incl.
