Southern Water has published details of its intention to set up a Business Management Consultancy Framework panel – the water company wants to establish a multi-supplier framework with the expertise to support the company’s ambitions.
Southern Water is seeking expertise in a number of areas, including:
- business strategy
- change management
- corporate planning
- financial
- HR
- IT
- procurement
- regulation
- pensions
- risk management
- tax
The utility has issued a Request for Information (RFI) and Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) – Southern Water is not requesting expressions of interest at this stage.
The RFI will be used to support the sourcing strategy and long-term management of the framework. A decision on whether the Framework will be tendered in Lots will be taken as an outcome of the sourcing strategy.
The indicative time-frame for the release of the contract notice and PQQ is early July.
