Northern Ireland Electricity Networks has awarded a £222.8m framework for the construction, refurbishment and restringing of overhead transmission lines across the region.
The eight-year deal for five firms is split into two lots and covers overhead lines operating at 33kV, 110kV and 275kV.
The scope includes asset replacement, uprating, emergency repairs and new-build work on both wood pole and steel tower structures, Northern Ireland Electricity Networks said yesterday (28 August) in a contract notice.
Lot one, valued at £11.8m, covers a rolling programme of refurbishment and day-rate emergency response.
Lot two, worth £211m, involves project-specific new-build and upgrade works.
Murphy International, a subsidiary of tier one contractor Murphy Group, has won a place on both lots.
The framework will run for five years, with an optional three-year extension. It was procured using a negotiated procedure following a prior call for competition.
