Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment

Tender description

The successful service provider(s) will be expected to offer a wide range of plant assets which meet our technical, commercial and environmental requirements. We are looking for a supplier(s) who can offer a strong technical support and expertise to us which will include up-front advice on the suitability/technical parameters of the assets as well as post-delivery support and assistance. In addition, as future technologies displace existing technical solutions and obsolescence of the associated component parts/spares increases, the service provider(s) will also be expected to provide their technical expertise/assistance to bring innovations where appropriate. The geographic span of our current asset estate covers London and the whole of the Thames Valley region. This procurement will be split into two lots: Lot 1: High Usage Plant Equipment (such as dumpers, excavators, generators); and Lot 2: Specialist Plant Equipment (such as trailer, sand skimmer, fuel bowser). Lot 1 covers the purchase of plant equipment which Thames Water uses on a frequent basis and are critical to their operations. Such assets include, but not limited to, excavators, dumpers, generators, tractors, etc. The successful supplier(s) will be expected to provide new assets based on Thames Water's specification within the agreed lead times. The machinery will be fuel powered, but carbon zero alternatives will be considered. The anticipated volume of plant equipment included in this lot is circa 190 assets. A maximum of two suppliers (likely to be a dealership and broker) will be awarded the framework agreement under which mini-competitions would take place for specific plant requirements. Pricing mechanisms and criteria will be put in place in order to allow fair and equal competition. We are seeking a strategic partnership with suppliers who can not only supply the goods but provide technical support and insight on best products available to meet our needs, taking into consideration environmental, criticality, maintenance and fit-for purpose factors.
