Total quantity or scope
Wessex Water seeks Capital Delivery Partners to assist in the delivery of Civils and Electrical, Mechanical & Instrumentation (EMI) elements of its Capital Investment and Capital Maintenance Programme (with a greater emphasis on Capital Maintenance work than in previous Asset Management Programmes (AMP)). These will be for AMP6 running 1.4.2015 to 31.3.2020 with the opportunity to continue through to AMP7, which ends in 2025 (this will be dependent upon performance and subject to the AMP7 determination). These works will involve elements of early involvement with the internal design team or design consultants during optioning and design stages.
The works will include the construction of new assets and the refurbishment, modifications to and maintenance of existing assets associated with water and waste water treatment works and above and below ground distribution networks and infrastructure.
Following the success of the AMP5 delivery process elements of these Programmes will be procured under the NEC3 ECC Option C Target Cost contract conditions (with additions and modifications to the clauses) via the Framework Agreements let as a result of this process.
Applicants may apply to provide Civils works (Lot 1) and/or EMI works (Lot 2). Where both Lots have been applied for the applicant may be awarded one or both Lots. Wessex Water may choose to combine Lots subject to the responses received following the invitation to tender where this offers economic advantage.
