Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract for commercial diving services worth an estimated £5.176 million in total.
Scope of the contract covers the provision of underwater diving mechanical services across all Thames Water regions.
The water company requires commercial diving services and metal fabrication works for its raw water reservoirs and service reservoirs. Diving services include asset inspection, repairs and maintenance. Metal fabrication works include manufacturing new metal products that need replacing in the water reservoirs.
Thames intends to award one framework agreement for the provision of underwater mechanical services to a primary supplier and a reserved supplier.
The primary supplier will be the first go to supplier to deliver the works required for this framework agreement. If, however, the primary supplier cannot deliver the services required then Thames Water will use the reserved supplier to deliver the services instead.
The initial term of the framework agreement will be 3 years with an option to extend up to a maximum of 8 years.
