Featured Tenders

The tender concerns the establishment of framework agreements for the procurement of substation control system hardware and associated services for TenneT TSO GmbH’s high‑voltage and extra‑high‑voltage substations. The procurement focuses on Intelligent Electronic Devices, field control units, bay and station control units, interface devices, and ancillary equipment that provide control, monitoring, signalling, and automation functions within substations. These components are meant to be called off as needed for new installations, refurbishments, and replacements, while a parallel service contract will cover maintenance, corrective and preventive actions, and embedded software updates.

The framework is split into two lots to secure supply continuity, operational resilience, and redundancy across the transmission grid. The devices must support the IEC 60870‑5‑104 communication protocol, integrate seamlessly into existing station control concepts, and meet all applicable technical standards. Only equipment complying with TenneT’s operational technology security requirements, including ISO 27001 certification, will be eligible for consideration.

Banedanmark is re‑tendering fasteners and rail pads specifically designed for three types of monoblock sleepers – S99, SB16 and S16 – to be used within the Danish rail network. The framework agreement grants Banedanmark a unilateral right, rather than an obligation, to order these components exclusively for production at the Sleeper Factory. The contract is deliberately limited to new fasteners and pads supplied for sleeper manufacturing; it does not cover replacement or maintenance of existing fastener assemblies across the network.

The procurement is structured into three distinct phases: an initial Design, Validation and Product Type Acceptance stage; a second Phase focused on the retrofitting of the Sleeper Factory; and a final Manufacturing and Delivery Production Phase. Companies participating in the tender must comply with EU utilities procurement legislation, Danish public procurement law, and relevant sanctions regulations, and are required to submit preliminary evidence of compliance through an ESPD and related declarations. Participation is limited to electronic submission and must be captured in a single tender covering the entire scope of the contract.

All supplied fasteners and rail pads must be fully compatible with Banedanmark’s monoblock sleeper types S99, SB16 and S16 and satisfy the design validation and product type acceptance criteria established for the sleeper factory.

The Municipality of Macrohon is soliciting bids for the construction of flood control works at San Joaquin in Southern Leyte.

The works encompass engineering, material procurement, and site execution activities that collectively address the municipality’s identified vulnerability to flooding events.

Bidders must be able to complete the full works within fifty (50) calendar days, inclusive of the curing period and a maximum of thirty (30) days of allowance for inclement weather. Prospective contractors are required to demonstrate that they have executed a comparable flood‑control project within the preceding five years and that they possess the technical capacity to deliver the work within the stipulated period. The contract will be awarded under a public bidding process that imposes a pass‑fail qualification threshold, with all bids to be submitted no later than the prescribed deadline.

The works must comply with Philippine National Building Code and approved flood‑control design standards.

Anchored in the obligations of the Care Act 2014, the procurement seeks a range of provision—from advocacy, volunteer brokerage and general information services to more specialised supports such as mental‑health‑supported living, dementia partnerships, and services for neurodivergent and visually impaired individuals. The council’s strategy highlights the VCS as a key partner in person‑centred care, community support, and wellbeing promotion across the borough.

The contract encompasses twelve distinct deliverables, classified under separate lots that cover a broad spectrum of services.

The Department for Education is seeking a Delivery Partner to support the establishment and early operation of up to six new Regional Care Cooperatives (RCCs) while simultaneously delivering an expanded Fostering Recruitment and Retention Programme across England. The contract, set to run from July 2026 to 31 March 2028, will require a mix of virtual and in‑person engagement, with the partner responsible for providing structured coaching, facilitation and technical expertise in line with the RCC staged progression model.

The delivery partner will carry out diagnostics, planning and governance support, co‑design sufficiency strategies and market‑shaping approaches, champion the adoption of the national common data model, and establish core regional functions for sustainable forecasting and commissioning. For Fostering Hubs, the partner will manage the full recruitment and approval process, establish performance‑monitoring and reporting mechanisms, deliver change management, troubleshoot programme or local‑authority issues, facilitate stakeholder relationships, provide HR assistance, and co‑produce social‑worker practice models; for new hubs, the partner will deliver independent oversight, challenge and practical design and implementation support to build enduring capability.

Working with roughly one hundred participating local authorities, the partner must ensure strategic alignment between RCCs and Fostering Hubs, collaborate closely with RCC leadership once established, and facilitate the integration of hubs into RCCs as the system expands, ultimately aiming for every local authority to participate in an RCC. Compliance with the RCC Design Specification Guidance and the adoption of the National Common Data Model are required.

The South East Pharmacy Procurement Service is issuing a recurring framework agreement for the supply and delivery of compounded monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to be administered intravenously for chemotherapy indications.

The totality of the agreement is governed by standard NHS contractual terms that have previously been accepted by the supply chain.

The procurement is divided into two distinct lots. Lot 1 supplies high‑volume products and comprises five different mAb molecules, covering all brands available for those indications. Lot 2 covers lower‑volume products and includes thirteen distinct mAb molecules, again allowing any brand to be supplied. Both lots carry options for up to two one‑year extensions, permitting the contract to run for a maximum of four years. The evaluation of offers will emphasize technical compliance, quality assurance and shelf life, with a pronounced weight on the latter two relative to price and social value.

All supplied mAbs must meet current NHS quality, safety and aseptic preparation standards.
