II.1.4) Short description
UK 1 Pipeline Notice for the supply of commercial and domestic electricity to MOD sites in Northern Ireland.
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), intends to procure the supply of electricity services for MOD establishments located in Northern Ireland (NI). Electricity is essential for sustaining daily operations across the MOD Estate, and continued supply is critical to maintaining full operational capability at all NI sites.
The requirement covers the secure, reliable, and compliant provision of electricity to MOD locations across Northern Ireland. Continuity of supply is vital to ensure the ongoing operation of key facilities and infrastructure.
A loss of electricity supply to MOD NI sites would have significant operational consequences, including:
Rendering affected establishments inoperative where functional infrastructure relies on electricity.
Creating potential health and safety risks for MOD personnel.
The Authority therefore seeks a supplier capable of delivering dependable electricity services across the NI Estate to ensure operational continuity.
