“Dear Applicants and Candidates,

Dear Applicants and Candidates,
We wish to advise that ESB has decided to cancel this current advertised competition for (1) Independent Condition Assessment Services Framework and (2) Statutory Inspections Framework for ESB Wind Farms.
The reason for this decision is that the business case for both frameworks is no longer viable, based on a review of the expected volume of work and the cost versus benefits. ESB has committed to re-evaluate the business case in relation to the framework for statutory inspections for ESB wind farms in the future. If ESB assesses that there is a future revised requirement for these statutory inspection services, we will contact all candidates who submitted a pre-qualification for this framework to advise that we will be starting a new competition.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this decision has caused.
