two.1.4) Short description
Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc (SHET, the Authority) intends to award framework agreements to contractors who have the necessary capacity, capability, and expertise to deliver compensatory planting schemes as fully detailed in the procurement documents.
Significant expansion in renewable generation in the SHET network area has driven a need to undertake a series of network reinforcement and expansion projects to increase capacity and improve network security. This work includes the building and rebuilding of Transmission overhead lines, the development of grid substations, converter stations and underground cable systems.
Due to the extent of this project portfolio, forestry is inevitably affected, and woodland removal is required in project areas to facilitate the construction and reinforcement of Transmission infrastructure. In response to this a significant volume of compensatory planting will be required. Compensatory planting will be required to support projects under RIIO T2, ASTI and RIIO T3.
The objective of this tender to engage a sufficient competent pool of contractors to ensure that compensatory planting can be delivered throughout the SHET network area.
