Switzerland – Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services – Rahmenverträge «Prüfleistungen Hoch- und Tiefbau»

Swissgrid operates, maintains and develops the Swiss transmission network. As part of new construction and renovation projects for power lines and substations, independent testing services are required to ensure the technical review of static calculations, structural evidence and execution documents. Due to the increasing number and complexity of the projects, these services are to be partially provided by external testing engineers in the future. The subject of the tender is the conclusion of framework agreements for static testing services in civil and structural engineering in the project phases of construction project, execution project and realisation. The tender is divided into four lots: • Lot 1: Civil Engineering, Pole Foundations in Power Line Construction – German • Lot 2: Civil Engineering, Pole Foundations in Power Line Construction – French • Lot 3: Structural Engineering, Buildings in Substations – German • Lot 4: Structural Engineering, Buildings in Substations – French The awarding of specific testing mandates will be done during the contract period as needed via project-specific mini-tenders among the contractors selected for the respective lot. There is no entitlement to a specific volume of services. The aim of the framework agreement is to ensure high-quality, independent and efficient testing services and the early detection of risks and optimisation potentials in Swissgrid's projects.
