MIL is advertising a proposed contract for the provision of services by a Client Side Technical Advisor (CSTA) to progress the Control System Upgrade Project for the Moyle Interconnector, a HVDC electricity link between Scotland and Northern Ireland. The CSTA will be responsible for assisting MIL as required, in scoping its requirements for the upgrade and in the procurement, installation, testing and commissioning of the upgraded Control System. The CSTA will initially be appointed to provide services in relation to Phase 1 of the project — which will conclude with Contract Award to a selected vendor for the upgrade works. Upon completion of Phase 1, MIL shall have the option, at its discretion, to either terminate the CSTA's contract or extend to allow for the provision by the CSTA of Phase 2 of the project. The Services to be provided during Phase 2 will include assistance in design and build, testing and commissioning of the Moyle Interconnector Control System Upgrade.
