Scaffolding Tender (Southern Water)

Tender description

The nature of the work required is to design, supply, erect, install, inspect, hire, remove, adopt, manage compliance, manage H&S regs (but not limited to) of all scaffolding requirements for Southern Water. Either as planned work or on a reactive basis, both within normal working hours (08:00-16:00) and outside of these hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This can include for third party contractors who will be able to engage with the Framework Scaffolding Suppliers on a one-to-one basis as if they were Southern Water employees. Full details of Southern Water’s requirements are set out in the specification. This procurement is set out in 3 lots by regional location. Lot 1 Kent Primary Supplier Lot 2 Sussex Primary Supplier Lot 3 Hampshire & Isle of Wight Primary Supplier Tenderers are only permitted to submit a maximum of two (2) bids across all lots in accordance with the lotting structure set out in the Information & Instruction to Tenderers ("IITT") document. Acting as a secondary or tertiary supplier as detailed in Table 1 may be a rare occurrence but must be able to deliver services in the areas should that requirement arise. This limitation is in place to ensure that Southern Water maintains a suitable level of resilience within its supply chain, reducing dependency on a limited number of suppliers and promoting diversity in service provision. Any tenderer submitting more than two bids across Lots 1–3 will have only the first two bids received (based on submission timestamp) evaluated. Any additional bids beyond this limit will be disregarded and not considered for evaluation.
