Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract trunk main monitoring systems and related services worth up to £8 million.
The water company is looking to appoint a maximum of four suppliers to the framework agreement which will run for up to seven years.
Estimated value of the contract is between £4 million to £8 million. Any agreement awarded would be for an initial duration of 3 years, with options to extend annually up to a maximum overall term of 7 years.
Thames has approximately 4 700 km of trunk mains, located primarily in London and the Thames Valley. Key requirements include:
- Permanent, real time monitoring of trunk main performance;
- Constant monitoring for bursts via devices which automatically generate an immediate alarm;
- Constant monitoring for emergent leaks allowing time to repair the main before a major failure occurs.
In addition, Thames is looking to improve its current burst prediction capabilities - alternatives to leakage detection will also be considered.
The water company will award framework agreements for the provision of trunk mains monitoring systems for remote burst prediction and/or remote burst detection, together with commissioning, calibration and ongoing support and maintenance of the instrumentation.
The contract notice is not an opportunity to PQQ (Pre-qualify), it is a direct to tender (ITN) opportunity.
Deadline for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 28th January.
