Hankinnan kuvaus
General
Fingrid Oyj, the Finnish national transmission system operator, is initiating this procurement process for 410/120/21 kV 400/400/125 MVA system transformers with the intended delivery between years 2022-2025 for existing and new substations in various locations in Finland.
With this invitation to participate Fingrid is looking for capable and interested candidates to provide the needed power transformers. In our operating model, the network of services and good suppliers as well as good cooperation between different contractual partners are especially important. We require all our contractual partners to be aware of Fingrid’s significant duties as responsible transmission system operator in Finland and to commit to responsibility of the economic, social and environmental impact of their operations.
The delivery of power transformers, including all needed transportation and erections, will be performed as turnkey deliveries. The transformer deliveries will be separate from the substation construction projects performed by other contractors, however, there is a need to coordinate the delivery of power transformers with the construction work at site.

— manufacturing of transformers with fittings and accessories,
