Lot 1 - HVDC Converter Civil Works of the HVDC Major Works and Civils Framework is intended to be used for the delivery of converter station civils works, which may include, but is not limited to:
- Design
- Consenting
- Enabling Works
- Site establishment
- Civil and structural engineering
- Building services
- DNO supplies
- Earthing

NG anticipates that the HVDC Major Works & Civils Framework Lot 1 will be used for the delivery of early projects, which may include:
1. Eastern Green Link 3
2. Eastern Green Link 4
3. Other projects of a similar size and nature
If the HVDC Major Works and Civils Framework is used for the delivery of these early projects, they will form call-off contracts under the HVDC Major Works & Civils Framework; however, due to the criticality of these projects and the need for them to be realised within the timeframe set by Ofgem's Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment framework, the call off process will be run in parallel with the procurement of the framework agreement itself. Interested parties will, therefore, be asked to express their interest in, and capacity to deliver, these early projects either at the RFP stage of the framework procurement or at an earlier stage.
As to be more fully described in the RFP, the interested parties that NG determines are capable of delivering the early projects will then be invited to participate in the early project call-off process, alongside the framework RFP. For the avoidance of doubt, given the parallel running of the framework and early project call-off procurements for the reasons explained, interested parties will not have confirmation of their appointment to the framework agreement before they are required to participate (if they are interested) in the call-off procurements for the early projects; however, securing a place on the framework agreement will be a condition for the award of any call-off contract. Being shortlisted for or awarded a call-off contract for the early projects is not though a condition to securing a place on the framework agreement.
NG reserves its rights to utilise different procurement routes.
