Increase in Framework value due to increased utilisation in framework over what was originally forecast
EirGrid employs this framework using a flexible resource model approach to support the delivery of large infrastructural projects of critical national importance and also develop the Irish Transmission electricity system to a more sustainable model. This support is in the form of project and programme management and consultancy support. This modification is required due to increased utilisation of the framework contract over what was initially forecast. This has been driven by Government policy published since the inception of this Framework. It is essential that the framework is now uplifted to ensure the delivery of these projects and to also avoid significant disruption and a duplication of costs.
