ICP and contestable works

NERS-ready evidence and on-time DNO submissions, without the Sunday-night pack.

Your job is to prepare contestable design and build submissions and keep NERS evidence ready. We prepare the paperwork round it, and you approve it.

The work that gets in the way

Design approval comes back for more information

Reassembling the submission takes another slice of the programme. DNO design approval remains with the DNO.

Quotation validity dates sit in correspondence

Checking each network email by hand uses time and risks a missed response date.

NERS evidence is rebuilt before surveillance

Finding issue records across DNO and IDNO correspondence creates another evening of administration.
