Anglian Water have announced their new MCC and Controls framework for controls and automation solutions with a new style of collaborative working.
MEICA experts TES Group, who specialise in the water and wastewater treatment sector, have been selected to collaborate with two other MCC manufacturers Paktronic and CEMA on the £mulit-million framework contract, which will run for up to ten years.
Anglian Water appointed the three companies to the new framework following a detailed, competitive tender process.
The new alliance has been named ‘Synergy’ and brings together three of the UK’s most progressive MCC Manufacturers to design, manufacture, install, test and commission low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies, in line with Anglian Water requirements.
The @one Alliance which is delivering more than half of Anglian Water’s AMP6 capital investment programme wanted to create a new MCC and Controls framework which would work collaboratively between partners, drive innovation and increase value for stakeholders.
The sourcing strategy was completely new for the MCC and Controls Framework, and focused on behaviour as well as capability and delivery of value. The @one Alliance wanted to select partners who will be able to work closely with each other, the IOS alliance and Anglian Water.
TES, along with the other members of Synergy are hoping to exceed both Anglian Water and @one Alliance’s framework expectations.
Commenting on the MCC and Controls Framework, TES Framework Manager Stephen Doyle said;
“All of our core culture and values are already closely aligned, forming the ideal platform to offer a fresh approach to automation solution development and delivery. We’re committed to bringing innovative solutions and proposals to the @One Alliance and Anglian water as a whole, while continuing to deliver excellent design, product and client services.”
Clare Fane, Framework Integration Manager, @one Alliance added:
“I’m excited about the opportunity with this new 10-year framework. We’re focused on getting it right from the start as it’s central to a significant number of Anglian Water processes. It will impact on automation and control of works, operations and data management, telemetry and other areas, as well as the partners interacting with the wider equipment and component supply chain.”
