Project overview

Consultant Purchasing Strategy Energy Infrastructure & Substations

Planned Period: 23.11.2026 – 31.05.2027

Consulting – Purchasing Strategy Civil Engineering Substations and Medium/Low Voltage

Goal:

Consulting on the strategic further development of purchasing and procurement strategies in the areas of civil engineering for substations and medium and low voltage (MV/LV) across multiple grid companies. The contractor will contribute external market and industry experience, question existing approaches, and develop recommendations for the further development of the respective purchasing strategies.

The consulting should specifically address the following objectives:

· Improvement of the cost position through suitable procurement, bundling, and awarding strategies

· Ensuring capacity and delivery capability against the backdrop of increasing expansion and investment volumes

· Further development and harmonization of awarding, lot, and supplier structures, taking into account the requirements of the respective grid companies

· Strengthening the strategic controllability of supplier and procurement markets

Civil Engineering for Substations

For the area of civil engineering, the contractor will support the further development of the existing category and purchasing strategy. The scope of services includes in particular the development and evaluation of suitable procurement, awarding, and contract models, such as framework agreements, project business, and hybrid models.

In addition, the contractor will develop recommendations for suitable lot and bundling strategies. This includes in particular the bundling of multiple substation projects, regional and supra-regional awarding models, and possible multi-lot scenarios.

Options for bundling or regionalization will be evaluated based on criteria such as demand power, regional market and supplier structure, competition, and capacity impact. The contractor will also develop recommendations for the segmentation and further development of the supplier landscape and suitable supplier roles.

Another focus is on approaches for long-term capacity assurance. This includes in particular the evaluation of capacity reservation models, supplier development approaches, and early awarding strategies.
