Research into bird collisions and the effectiveness of Hawk Eye wire markings on the Vierverlaten–Ens 380 kV connection

Summary

The tender concerns a four-year research service for the Vierverlaten–Ens high-voltage connection. The contractor must establish a current baseline of bird collisions along and near the existing 220 kV line, assess the effectiveness of Hawk Eye and other bird-wire marking measures on selected towers and conductors, and monitor the results. The findings must support permitting for the 380 kV project and wider use by TenneT. The estimated contract value is EUR 1,000,000, and the notice indicates that a confidentiality agreement will be required during contract performance. The precise participation and submission requirements must be checked in the tender documents.
