Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting (Финляндия - Тендер #46917032)

GENERAL

Fingrid Oyj, the Finnish national transmission system operator, is initiating this procurement process for one (1) 20 kV 63 MVar Ester oil filled shunt reactor with the intended preliminary delivery time in October 2025 for Länsisalmi substation in Finland.

Fingrid is working in close cooperation with the City of Helsinki and Helen Electricity Network to construct Finland’s first 400 kV cable link in the main grid. More information https://www.fingrid.fi/en/grid/construction/power-cable-Helsinki/

With this invitation to participate Fingrid is looking for capable and interested candidates to provide the needed shunt reactors. In our operating model, the network of services and good suppliers as well as good co-operation between different contractual partners are especially important. We require all our contractual partners to be aware of Fingrid’s significant duties as responsible transmission system operator in Finland and to commit to responsibility of the economic, social and environmental impact of their operations.

The delivery of reactor, including all needed transportation and erections, will be performed as turnkey deliveries. The reactor delivery will be separate from the substation construction projects performed by other contractors, however, there is a need to coordinate the delivery of reactor with the construction work at site.

DELIVERY

Delivery of one 20 kV, 63 MVar shunt reactor including:

- Manufacturing of reactor with fittings and accessories

- Testing,

- Sea transportation to Finland,

- Transport to the site in Finland. The Supplier may choose the means and route of transportation.

- Unloading on the foundation, erection, testing and commissioning at site.

- All organizational work needed for logistics: arrangement of transportation from factory to site, customs clearance and forwarding

Preliminary 20 kV, 63 MVAr Shunt Reactor specification is attached to this prequalification (see attachment 01 PRELIMINARY S223XXE1 Ester Oil filled 63 MVAr reactor).

Detailed schedules shall be given at a later stage of the procedure.

PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE OF THE PROCUREMENT
