Germany – Professional services for the gas industry – Evakuierungsarbeiten von Pipelines zum Gastransport, Abfackeln von Restmengen, Inertisieren von Pipelines zum Gastransport Im Rahmen einer nicht abschließenden Rahmenvereinbarung

Evacuation of pipelines for gas transport Flaring of residual quantities Inertisation of pipelines for gas transport

Within the scope of a non-exhaustive framework agreement

(1) GASCADE Gastransport GmbH and

(2) NEL Gastransport GmbH (NGT) are independent transmission system operators based in Kassel, Germany. The contracting authorities are subsidiaries of Wiga Transport Beteiligungs-GmbH & Co. KG, which in turn belongs to SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH. GASCADE and NGT transport natural gas and hydrogen safely, reliably and efficiently through their pipeline systems. The contracting authorities play an important role in promoting a sustainable energy future and support the development of a hydrogen network in Germany and Europe. The contracting authorities are also involved in various projects that contribute to the improvement of the gas infrastructure and support the energy transition. The EU Methane Regulation obliges the contracting authorities as transmission system operators to carry out all measures as emission-free as possible. The use of mobile booster compressors, flaring and subsequent inertisation gives the contracting authorities the opportunity to carry out work on the assets with the lowest possible emissions. This schedule of services describes the provision of three work steps: evacuation, flaring and inertisation. The medium is natural gas and hydrogen of the 5th gas family according to G260. The mobile units shall be connectable via flexible hoses or Chiksan lines. The consumption gas as well as the evacuated/flared quantity shall be measured and documented. The framework agreement comes into force with the award by the contracting authority/authorities, whereby the contracting authorities can represent each other. The award for the conclusion of the non-exhaustive framework agreement will be made to all bidders who are not to be excluded, who meet the required suitability requirements, who accept the framework agreement without reservation and who meet all the minimum requirements for at least one requested performance package. No price evaluation takes place in the procedure for the conclusion of the framework agreement. The contracting entity estimates the forthcoming order volume over the term at EUR 15.000.000,00. The total value of all individual orders from the framework agreement is therefore limited to the maximum value of EUR 20.000.000,00 net. No further individual orders may be awarded on the basis of the framework agreement after the maximum value has been reached. The contracting authorities carry out a joint continuous call-off control. The execution period of the individual specific orders will be announced as required by means of a mini-competition. The term of the framework agreement expires, without the need for termination, if the maximum value or the maximum quantity of the framework agreement is exhausted by the award of individual orders or after 8 years, whichever event occurs first.
