- Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)
In plain English
United Utilities, the water company, is setting up a framework (a pre-agreed list of suppliers that work can be called off from) with an estimated value of £40 million. Five partners will be appointed to deliver rainwater management schemes, such as capturing, reusing and slowing down rainwater, over the next 12 to 18 months. Each scheme will be either design and build or build only, depending on the project.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver rainwater management solutions using surface conveyance, infiltration, disconnection and attenuation, under either Design & Build or Build Only routes • Show the capability, capacity, performance and delivery approach needed to support immediate AMP8 delivery and inform future procurement for AMP8 and AMP9 • Work on a scheme-by-scheme basis, with the delivery route chosen according to programme requirements, complexity and design maturity
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for suppliers with the capability and capacity to take on both design and build and build only work across a £40 million framework shared by only five partners, so most small businesses are likely to be ruled out unless they can show they have the scale to deliver large schemes.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
