The tender was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on June 12, with the agreements covering multi-year services supporting existing AC offshore and onshore high-voltage cable systems in Germany and Belgium. The contracts adopt a "call-off" framework structure, awarded through a two-stage negotiation procedure, with specific workloads and timelines determined based on actual operational needs. The initial term of the agreements is six years, from November 1, 2027, to October 31, 2035, with the contracting entities having the option to extend for up to two additional years. The deadline for application submissions is July 9, 2026, with invitations to tender expected to be issued on August 7, 2026.
Within the scope of Lots 1 to 5, led by 50Hertz, the framework includes offshore high-voltage cable repair logistics in the Baltic Sea region, as well as onshore and offshore cable jointing services. Services involve mobilization and demobilization support, vessel and equipment supply, cable handling and transport, jointing operations for repair interventions, quality assurance and quality control documentation, and interface coordination. The repair logistics lots (1-3) are each valued at €110 million, while the jointing lots (4-5) are each valued at €19.2 million.
Within Elia's scope, Lot 6 covers offshore high-voltage cable jointing services in the Belgian North Sea, including the supply of equipment and consumables, qualified personnel, documentation, and coordination of repair-related jointing work, valued at €7.6 million. Services for all lots are ordered on demand with no guaranteed minimum workload; bidders must possess certified safety, environmental, and quality management systems, as well as relevant experience in offshore high-voltage cable repairs.
