Supplier Qualification System (SQS) for Certification Services for Offshore Converter Platforms

50Hertz intends to establish a Supplier Qualification System (“SQS”) for the procurement of certification services for offshore platforms.
Qualification will be based on defined selection criteria.
The SQS does not constitute an invitation to submit a bid, but serves to identify qualified bidders for a potential subsequent procurement process.
If a corresponding need arises at 50Hertz, the bidders qualified at that time will be invited to submit a bid based on specific tender documents.
A possible scope of such a procurement process could include, for example, the provision of certification services for a offshore converter platform with a transmission capacity of 2GW. This typically covers the certification of design, manufacturing, transport, installation, and commissioning of an offshore substation and associated components in accordance with applicable BSH-standards and requirements.
