Thames Water has gone out to tender with an AMP7 tanks framework contract worth an estimated £10.4 million.
Tanks are a critical asset in the water and wastewater treatment process - if tanks develop holes and/or cease to work effectively; the treatment process capacity is reduced and can lead to increased running costs and potential for catastrophic failure of the asset.
The water company is looking to set up a framework agreement for the provision of a range of tanks to be used on their water and wastewater sites across their entire region.
The agreement has been split into the following three Lots, covering 5 main tank types:
- Lot 1: Sludge holding tanks and digesters
- Lot 2: Fuel tanks
- Lot 3: Chemical tanks and salt saturators.
The initial contract term will be for 3 years with options to extend up to a maximum term of 8 years.
Thames Water is looking to appoint up to nine suppliers to the framework agreement.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 17th November 2020 – click here to access the tender documentation.
