Water distribution and related services

Tender description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Contracting Authority, intends to put in place a framework agreement for the supply of water and waste water services including ancillary goods, works and services. Growth in customer numbers could cause a rise in demand. Conversely, any energy demand destruction/ efficiency initiatives could reduce the figure over the life of the relationship. The cost noted below is estimated on current projections against current volumes and market conditions that may rise and fall and does not factor in demand destruction/efficiency initiatives. The exact details of the contractual arrangements and whether this requirement is to be split into lots is yet to be decided. Provision of ancillary goods, works and services in addition to the provision of water and waste water supplies may also be required. It is envisaged that this will include, but not be limited to a wide range of procurement options and which allow for the greatest degree of control and transparency of pricing; new connections and site-works; metering; demand side management and innovations delivering water conservation measures; Automatic Meter Reading; Water reduction/management advice and guidance and implementation of recommendations (which may include sourcing of third- party services/technology). Crown Commercial Service welcome correspondence from interested suppliers. To register your interest please contact us on water@crowncommercial.gov.uk
