II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

TfW has awarded a supply contract to Siemens Mobility for the purchase of Side entry 8DA11 CGIS (Contained Gas Insulated Switchgear). Transport for Wales (TfW), and its delivery partners, are responsible for the development and delivery of the South Wales Metro, including the CVL Transformation programme, which will integrate public transport services and systems in South East Wales. Part of this programme includes the electrification of the Core Valley Lines in South East Wales (comprising Rhymey to Cardiff Queen Street, Coryton Spur, Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff Queen Street, Aberdare to Cardiff Queen Street, Aberdare to Hirwaun, Treherbert to Cardiff Queen Street, Cardiff Queen Street to Cardiff Central and Cardiff Central to Cardiff Bay) and will require supply and fixing of substations to create the power network.

TfW identified that Siemens Mobility is the only supplier capable of meeting TfW’s requirements, for the following reasons. The required items must be supplied by a Network Rail Parts and Drawings System (‘PADS’) approved supplier of side entry 8DA11 CGIS (Contained Gas Insulated Switchgear) in order to conform to Network Rail and TfW standards, namely NR/L1/ELP/27000, NR standard NR/PS/ELP/27236 and PADS Certificate PA05/00637, including as well the following British Standards policies and legislations as detailed in NR/L1/ELP/27000:

The supplier must be PADS approved because the product acceptance process gives TfW the assurance that products accepted for use on or about the infrastructure are safe, compatible, reliable, fit for purpose and do not export unacceptable risks to Network Rail and/or TfW infrastructure. The supplier must also have side entry cable capacity to ensure conformity with the standards detailed above and to meet the system design requirements where due consideration was given to all types of design and decisions based on concerns regarding land take and consents and potential for vandalism have led to the requirement for CGIS Switchgear. TfW's expert advisers conducted market investigations and on the basis of these Siemens is currently the only PADS approved supplier of CGIS switchgear with side entry which meets the above requirements.
