The complex MEICA Framework contract, worth an estimated £750 million covers Mechanical Electrical Instrumentation, Control and Automation (MEICA) construction and refurbishment works associated with above or below ground assets. The assets will typically lie within a Yorkshire Water operational treatment site, collection or distribution asset including process treatment and water retaining structures, as one off projects.

The water company is looking to appoint up to six suppliers to the framework, which will run for an initial five years with a further 36 months extension option.

Yorkshire Water is also separately tendering a framework contract for Minor Mechanical Electrical Instrumentation, Control and Automation (MEICA) works associated with above or below ground assets worth an estimated £300 million. Again, the assets will typically be within a Yorkshire Water operational treatment site, collection or distribution assets including process treatment and water retaining structures, as one off projects.
Typical project values will range from circa £50,000 to £500,000 - the scope of services will include:
- Site investigation including surveys
- Minor mechanical plant and equipment associated with water and wastewater treatment assets
- Minor electrical plant and equipment associated with water and wastewater treatment assets
- ICA plant and equipment associated with water and wastewater treatment assets
