TenneT TSO has established a qualification system for remedial burial services in the North Sea. The assignment focuses on the relocation, concealment, and restoration of HV underground cables that fall outside the direct responsibility of TenneT, but which do fall under the general responsibility of the company. The scope may be extended later to Belgian, British, German, Norwegian, and Danish waters. For each specific remedial burial assignment, TenneT will issue an invitation to tender (ITT) based on the contractual conditions of the qualification system. Technical requirements vary per region, depending on permits, soil conditions, and other environmental factors. The procurement is aimed at service providers with expertise in offshore/nearshore cable installation and repair, and requires a proven track record, safety certifications, and the ability to comply with international standards.
