Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has gone out to tender with an AMP6 framework contract for pressurised pipeline systems and emergency response works worth an estimated £329 million.
The water company is looking to appoint up to 27 suppliers to the framework contract, which will run for 7 years - an initial 4 year term with options to extend for a further three 12-month periods. With a total estimated value of £329 million, the DCC AMP 6 programme for works within this work stream is around £47 million per annum.
DCC wants to establish framework agreements across three predetermined geographical areas with suitable contractors capable of providing works associated with pressurised pipeline systems including emergency response works.
The framework consists of 3 lots with three regional sub lots;
- Lot 1: High Complexity and Emergency Response Works (£159 miilion)
- Lot 2: Medium Complexity Works (£104 million)
- Lot 3: Low Complexity Works (£66 million)
The regional sub lots will be North Wales, South East Wales and South West Wales.
The framework will require contractors to deliver pressurised pipe schemes and associated works on DCC water and waste water assets, across the DCC business operating area. Work may be undertaken on behalf of various teams within DCC including Water Operations, Waste Operations, Developer Services, DCC's in house engineering team and DCC Capital Alliance partners who may also utilise the framework.
Where necessary, successful contractors will also be required to undertake the Principal Contractors role and also manage specialist sub-contractors.
