The scope of the framework includes the supply and delivery of a wide range of electrical wholesale goods and equipment, including but not limited to: • Public lighting lanterns • Cables and wires • Cable accessories, jointing materials, fixings and supports • Conduit, trunking and containment systems • Connectors, terminals and electrical accessories • Fuses, fusegear, circuit breakers and protective devices • Switches, isolators and control equipment • Lamps, control gear and lighting components • Internal and external light fittings • Enclosures and distribution equipment • Batteries • Domestic fire detection and alarm devices, including smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms • Proprietary spare parts for repair and maintenance activities • Electrical machines and appliances • Other associated electrical products specified during the framework term All goods supplied must be new, unused, fit for purpose and compliant with applicable Irish, European or equivalent international standards. The framework will operate for a period of four years.
