Irish Water is now inviting responses from interested parties who wish to engage in this market consultation exercise. We would like to engage with parties who have the capacity to: — Design Integrated Collection systems; — Supply Pressurized System units; — Supply integrated control systems; — Provide technical support for initial customer interaction; — Provide technical support to installation contractors, including training and oversight of commissioning; — Provide support to managed service providers. (Operation and Maintenance) including training and system information. As this request relates to a deployment of a new technology in Ireland and as many suppliers and designers may not have developed a supply chain here, it is envisaged that in order to successfully carry out the project parties may be required to participate together. To facilitate participation, IW is willing to consider supporting elements of the delivery chain through using our existing construction and consultancy frameworks and are open to considering other proposed delivery mechanisms. A more detailed scoping document is appended. Disclaimer: This RFI does not constitute an offer to enter into any contract.
