Dublin City Council Multi-Party Framework Agreement for the provision of Electrical Wholesale Goods and Equipment

Dublin City Council proposes to establish a multi-operator framework agreement for the supply and delivery of electrical wholesale goods and equipment to support the operation and maintenance of public lighting, housing electrical services and electrical installations across the Council’s estate. The framework will be established with up to three economic operators. The framework will be primarily utilised by Dublin City Council’s Public Lighting and Electrical Services, which manages approximately 47,000 public lighting units, electrical services to over 30,000 residential dwellings and electrical installations across more than 300 public buildings. The scope of the framework includes the supply and delivery of a wide range of electrical wholesale goods and equipment, including but not limited to: • Public lighting lanterns • Cables and wires • Cable accessories, jointing materials, fixings and supports • Conduit, trunking and containment systems • Connectors, terminals and electrical accessories • Fuses, fusegear, circuit breakers and protective devices • Switches, isolators and control equipment • Lamps, control gear and lighting components • Internal and external light fittings • Enclosures and distribution equipment • Batteries • Domestic fire detection and alarm devices, including smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms • Proprietary spare parts for repair and maintenance activities • Electrical machines and appliances • Other associated electrical products specified during the framework term All goods supplied must be new, unused, fit for purpose and compliant with applicable Irish, European or equivalent international standards. The framework will operate for a period of four years. The initial contract is expected to be awarded for two years, with the option to extend for up to two further one-year periods, subject to satisfactory performance. The estimated maximum value of the framework is €9,000,000 excluding VAT. This figure is indicative only and does not constitute a guarantee of expenditure. The Contracting Authority makes no commitment regarding the volume or value of orders that may arise during the framework term. The successful framework members will be required to provide reliable delivery services across Dublin City Council locations. Frequent-use items must be available for next-business-day delivery, while stock items must generally be available within three working days of receipt of an official order. The framework will support the ongoing delivery of essential public services and infrastructure across Dublin City Council’s operations. Tenderers will be required to demonstrate appropriate financial standing, technical capacity, quality assurance arrangements, business continuity measures and relevant experience in the supply of comparable electrical goods and equipment. This competition is being conducted through the Open Procedure in accordance with Irish and EU public procurement requirements.
