Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract for bio recycling cake operations during the AMP6 investment period which could potentially extend into AMP7.
The water company is looking to appoint up to ten suppliers to the framework agreement, which could run for up to 7 years.
Thames Water and members of the water company's supply chain stockpile, deliver and spread approximately 700 000 tonnes of biosolids to land every year. The tender covers the following 3 Lots:
Lot 1. Loading, haulage and stockpiling of compliant biosolids
This includes the management and storage of biosolids at Thames Water sewage treatment works, haulage of biosolids between Thames Water sewage treatment works (~75 000 tonnes in 2014/15) and haulage of biosolids to the customer and stockpiling on the customer site (~700 000 tonnes in 2014/15). Management of customer site stockpiles may also be required.
Lot 2. Spreading of the biosolids at the customer sites (~700 000 tonnes in 2014/15)
Lot 3. Non-compliant biosolids to restoration.
This includes provisioning land/restoration sites appropriate for the disposal of non-compliant biosolids (i.e. biosolids which cannot be spread on agricultural land). Removal and haulage of non-compliant biosolids to restoration sites (~115 000 tonnes removed in 2014/15) will also be required.
Any framework agreement awarded would be for an initial duration of 5 years, with options to extend annually up to a maximum overall term of 7 years.
No information has been provided about the overall potential value of the contract. Viridor Waste Management is among a number of suppliers on the agreement which is currently in place.
