Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract for investigation services for polluted service water outfalls worth an estimated £10.4 million in total.
Scope of the contract covers the investigation of polluted surface water sewer outfalls via:
- testing and tracing of the affected sewer network to determine where misconnections or other pollution sources exist
- contacting owners of properties where misconnections have been identified
- liaising with property owners whilst they action the required rectifications to their drainage
Thames Water is looking for specialist services whereby suppliers resolve polluted surface outfalls that are suspected of suffering from widespread misconnections of household appliances (e.g. washing machines), raw sewage sources (toilets) and in other cases trade effluent from commercial premises.
The water company is alerted to the possibility of a polluted outfall by reports from the Environmental Agency, Local Councils, Thames’s own work force, stakeholder groups or the public.
In conjunction with the Environment Agency Thames Water runs the surface water outfall programme (SWOP) to identify outfalls to watercourses suffering from wastewater pollution. These outfalls have been diagnosed with widespread diffuse sources which are likely to be third-party misconnections.
The water company islooking to appoint up to 3 suppliers to the framework agreement, which will run for an initial term of 3 years with options to extend up to a maximum duration of 8 years.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 21st July 2020 – click here to access the tender documentation.
