Please note, the deadline for submitting expressions of interest has now closed.
Project CLoCC is now in its last project stage – detailed design, build, test and business readiness.
As a result, National Grid Gas Transmission (NGGT), is now inviting expressions of interest from parties wishing to collaborate with the Project CLoCC team in order to directly support our project’s stage 3 requirements, specifically testing and verification of project outputs prior to project completion.
We are seeking interest from parties wishing to become the Project CLoCC pilot customer. Broadening testing of our project outputs to date at a connection site in collaboration with a customer would provide valuable proof of concept information prior to project completion.
Timeline and cost reductions developed so far by the project would be able to be practically validated improving confidence and accuracy in the final deliverables provided to National Grid by the project in October 2018.
Furthermore, it is our objective to assess the entire new gas customer connections journey developed by the project in partnership with our pilot customer from initial application to commissioning.
The deadline for submission of expressions of interest is 10:00 on 2nd February 2018.
NGGT will then assess submissions against the selection criteria and contact all parties by 15th February 2018 with information on whether their application has been shortlisted. Only shortlisted applications will be considered past this date.
From the 15th February 2018 the submissions from shortlisted applicants will be further validated for technical and commercial aspects, at this stage full commercial arrangements will be available to shortlisted applicants for consideration.
Due to project timeline restrictions a direct award process will be followed and connection offer made to the shortlisted applicant that best suits the requirements of Project CLoCC. The successful applicant will be required to enter into a connections contract with National Grid – this connections contract will include specific terms and conditions applicable to this pilot customer opportunity.
If you are interested in qualifying for this opportunity, please send your expression of interest submissions via email to .box.ProjectCLoCC@nationalgrid.com, to be received no later than 10:00 on 2nd February 2018.
