General information

Short Summary
Spanish company based in Bilbao with more than 40 years of experience in the electrical sector.

The company is dedicated to the distribution of equipment and instrumentation for power transformers and electrical distribution networks. The company seeks suppliers of switchgear, control and safety instrumentation, gas analyzers for transformers, thermometers, thermal imaging devices, oil treatment and drying systems, power quality equipment, and a wide range of testing and measurement solutions.
Full Description
The company seeks to enlarge its product portfolio of switchgear and control and safety instrumentation through a cooperation agreement with a manufacturer of equipment for transformers and electrical distribution networks.

The supplier must demonstrate proven experience in the industrial electrical sector, with specialization in instrumentation, measurement, testing, and control of transformers and substation equipment.
In addition to this, demonstrable participation is sought in projects related to electrical parameter control, dielectric analysis, thermal monitoring, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), and predictive diagnostics of power equipment.

The partner must have the capability to provide specialized technical assistance, including commissioning, training, preventive and corrective maintenance. At the same time, it should have the availability of an in-house laboratory or technical service for equipment calibration and verification.

The supplier must be comitted to long-term collaboration, not just occasional supply, which means ensuring reliable delivery times, stock availability, and continuous after-sales support.

As for the partner's, preference will be given to companies established within the European Union, due to their logistical proximity, regulatory compliance, and alignment with European technical standards.

However, collaboration with suppliers from other regions will not be excluded, provided they demonstrate equivalent levels of quality, reliability, and technical support.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
1. Product Range

The supplier must be a manufacturer of equipment for transformers and electrical distribution networks, including:

- Thermometers and thermal imaging systems

- Safety valves for transformers

- Dissolved gas analyzers (DGA) for transformers

- Oil dryers and oil treatment systems

- Power quality and disturbance analyzers (fault recorders)

- Circuit breaker analyzers

- Partial discharge detection systems (GIS, cables, transformers)

-Tan Delta (dissipation factor) measurement equipment

- Other complementary control, protection, and monitoring instruments

2. Technical Capabilities

- Competence in the supply, configuration, and calibration of precision measuring and control instruments, both analog and digital.

- Ability to integrate systems with SCADA platforms, PLCs, or other industrial monitoring and data acquisition environments.

- Expertise in technologies associated with online transformer monitoring, including temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, and gas sensors, as well as industrial communication protocols (Modbus, IEC 61850, etc.).

3. Technical standards and Certifications

- Compliance with relevant international standards such as IEC, IEEE, ASTM, and UNE-EN, regarding testing, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

- Certification in quality management systems (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), and preferably occupational health and safety (ISO 45001).

- Calibration certificates and test reports for measurement equipment.

- CE marking and conformity documentation.

- Robustness and suitability for use in high-voltage electrical substations and industrial environments.

4. After-Sales & Technical Support

- Manuals, datasheets, and full documentation in Spanish (mandatory for tenders).

- Local service or ability to travel for technical assistance when required.

- Guarantee of repair services and spare parts availability.

- Commitment to traceability, technical documentation, and product warranty for all supplied components.

5. Delivery & Logistics

- Guaranteed and reliable lead times.

- Flexibility for urgent deliveries when necessary.

- Proper packaging for transport and storage of sensitive instruments.

6. Business Relationship

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The company is currently seeking a long-term partnership with a manufacturer that meets the following criteria:

Minimum of 5 years' experience in producing equipment for transformer and distribution network control and analysis.

Product range including (but not limited to): thermometers, thermal imaging devices, safety valves, transformer gas analyzers, oil dryers and oil treatment systems, power quality equipment, fault recorders, circuit breaker analyzers, GIS partial discharge testing, tan delta testing, etc.

Proven ability to guarantee product delivery times, technical support, and repair services.

Availability to travel for technical requirements when necessary.

Because of the company's clients' needs, manuals and full documentation in Spanish are required. This is also a mandatory condition for public tenders.

In addition to competitive pricing, commitment and strong business relationships are highly valued. The company is not looking for a supplier that disengages when it is not convenient — but a true partner who will grow with them.
