Wider Ecosystem

Description

Delivering Northumbrian Water Limited's (NWL) AMP8 programme, and beyond, will require a step change in how we collaborate, manage risk and co-ordinate our capital investment. We have developed a clear vision and process for how we want to deliver our plan and our ambitious transformation programme to implement this roadmap has already commenced with the award of framework agreements for professional services contracts. These lay the foundations for our new supply chain landscape or 'Living Water Ecosystem'. This award notice is in relation to the Wider Ecosystem. A separate notice for the Living Water Enterprise lots (FA08-01) was published on completion of that procurement process. Short Cycle Work: NWL's Integrated Delivery Services (IDS) team delivers lean and agile short cycle capital investment works on our water and wastewater assets, as well as delivering infrastructure services for our developer customers. The IDS team will be supported by the appointed Wider Ecosystem partners. The Wider Ecosystem will also provide additional resource and support to the Living Water Enterprise partners when delivering long cycle work. NWL have appointed a number of suppliers to the following lots: Wider Ecosystem Lots FA08-02 - Lot A - Infrastructure Civil Engineering (North East) o Sub lot 1 - £0-£2.5m o Sub lot 2 - £0-£5m - Lot B - Treatment and Civils (North East) o Sub lot 1 - £0-£2.5m o Sub lot 2 - £0-£5m - Lot C - Treatment and Civils (Essex & Suffolk) o Sub lot 1 - £0-£2.5m o Sub lot 2 - £0-£5m - Lot D - Demolition and Associated Services (North East) - Lot E - Demolition and Associated Services (Essex & Suffolk) - Lot F - Multi-Disciplinary Civil Engineering - Non-Water Experience (North East) - Lot G - Multi-Disciplinary Civil Engineering - Non-Water Experience (Essex & Suffolk) - Lot H - Civil and Environmental Engineering (North East and Essex & Suffolk) Lot FA08-02A1: Infrastructure Civil Engineering (North East) - £0-£2.5m Wider Ecosystem Lot A 1 - Infrastructure Civil Engineering (North East) - £0-£2.5m The Client has appointed several infrastructure civil construction Contractors in the Northumbrian Operating area to deliver projects across its capital investment programme. The Contractors will become partners as part of the Northumbrian Water's Living Water Ecosystem, working alongside the Enterprise and directly for Northumbrian Water's Integrated Delivery Services (IDS), focused on outcomes and mutual goals placing optimised delivery as one of its key priorities. The Contractors will embrace collaboration, drive and promote best practice, engender an environment of continuous learning and improvement whilst efficiently delivering the investment portfolio across the operating region. The Scope of work includes construction and commissioning of new water and wastewater infrastructure assets, asset renewals, asset modifications and refurbishments. The Scope involves programmes of work by asset, work type, geography and / or by specialism. These programmes will be for predominantly infrastructure works with some treatment works; and can be district to regional wide; multiple small to medium scale, civil interventions; small groups of medium sized and / or medium complex projects. Throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement there will be small, medium or emerging issues of a more business critical nature which may need to be delivered on an individual basis. The Client's aim is to create a wide ranging and diverse eco-system of Contractors to compliment the Living Water Enterprise and its partners in addition to our integrated delivery services. To aid this, the works for this Framework are intended to be split into two Sub-lots; from £0m to £2.5m (Sub-lot 1) & £0m to £5.0m (Sub-lot 2) as indicated below.
