25/061 - Système de qualification pour unités de chaudières packagées

The scope of the Package Boiler Unit (PBU) is not limited to the design, manufacture, assembly, delivery and commissioning of complete packaged boiler units comprising natural gas‑fired boilers, natural gas‑fired generators, associated LPHW systems, control and automation systems, instrumentation, documentation, FAT/SAT, and commissioning support. The scope also incorporates purchasing of heat‑exchangers as part of an integrated natural‑gas pre‑heat system. The following is applicable to the scope of the QS: • GNI may procure all or any part of the Boiler Package Unit and heat-exchangers • For the purposes of compliance with Regulation 97(1)(a) (Modification of contracts during their term) of the Utilities Regulations 2016 GNI may require additional services, works, supplies under the scope, relevant to Boiler Package Unit site, during the Framework period, e.g. the provision of boilers and all ancillary equipment to facilitate the safe and efficient operation of the Boiler Package Unit assembly. The Contracting Entity reserves the right, at any time during this competition and/or the operation of the Qualification System, to conduct audits (including Supplier Quality Audits), which may include site visits and quality audits, for the purposes of verifying the accuracy and completeness of tender submissions and any supporting documentation provided. Such audits may include review of relevant facilities, processes, quality management arrangements, records and traceability information, and (where appropriate) the Applicant’s and/or its sub-suppliers’ premises. Applicants must acknowledge that, because materials, equipment and services within the scope of this Qualification System may be used directly on the gas network, participation in such audits may be a requirement of GNI and may be a minimum condition for progression, for any subsequent Call for Competitions. Any corrective actions identified during an audit must be satisfactorily addressed within the timeframe specified by the Contracting Entity. The Contracting Entity reserves the right to call off from the Qualification System in respect of any goods and services that may be required in Northern Ireland and/or Scotland
