Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited (NIE Networks) intends to establish a framework arrangement under which it shall appoint suppliers to enter into separate framework agreements for C280 (2027) Supply Low Voltage Cable Jointing Systems. It is anticipated that each framework agreement awarded will be for a period of five (5) years with an option, exercisable entirely at the discretion of the contracting authority and subject to the terms of the framework agreement, to extend by a further optional period of up to three (3) years, with a total potential duration of eight (8) years. NIE Networks estimates that the total spend under framework agreements could be up to £15.5 million over the total potential eight-year duration. Therefore, NIE Networks is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) supplier information event to gather insights from the market before initiating a procurement process for Contract C280 (2027) Supply Low Voltage Cable Jointing Systems. This engagement aims to assess the market's interest and capabilities in delivering Contract C280 (2027), identify potential solutions and develop an effective procurement strategy. NIE Networks anticipates an ongoing requirement for resin compounds, insulation compounds, joint shells and complete low voltage cable jointing systems. Through this engagement, NIE Networks also wishes to understand developments within the market and identify any innovative products, technologies or approaches that could provide additional benefits in areas such as safety, reliability, installation efficiency, sustainability and security of supply. NIE Networks currently utilises a range of Low Voltage Cable Jointing Systems across its distribution network. While these products will continue to form a core part of operational requirements, NIE Networks is keen to engage with the market to understand emerging technologies, product developments and best practices that may complement or enhance existing solutions.

In 2021, the NHS Public Board approved a roadmap to drive supplier decarbonisation and support the achievement of the NHS Net Zero target. The 2028 milestone of this roadmap outlines new requirements to be introduced overseeing the provision of carbon footprints for individual products supplied to the NHS. The 2025 Five years of a greener NHS progress report refined the scope of this milestone to high-emission areas, particularly pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and digital where more granular carbon insights can deliver value on the NHS’s journey to net zero. There isn’t currently a single methodology to measure product level emissions, and further work is required to define the technical approach that will deliver the expected benefits of this policy. This procurement exercise outlines the need to commission a third party with expertise and experience in Product Carbon Footprinting (PCF) in the health sector to support, by the end of Q4 26/27, the selection, tailoring and testing of the technical PCF requirement of the 2028 milestone. This includes working with a technical reference group (TRG) with experts in Footprinting to identify existing methods and standards, assessing their alignment against the NHS policy intentions, recommending options and how they could be practically applied in the identified areas, and testing them with suppliers, using real data, and reporting learnings from the process. Enabling the collection of granular data for high-emission areas is key to assisting NHS England (NHSE) to demonstrate regard to the need to contribute towards compliance with its statutory climate change duties (Climate Change Act 2008 and Environment Act 2021). This project will support understanding of key products’ emissions, allowing the NHSE team and local stakeholders to prioritise actions to tackle supply chain emissions, as well as identifying opportunities for UK innovation and growth, improving health products value and supply resilience.
