United Utilities is looking to set up a high-level framework for digital services monitoring and control, design and build work in AMP7 with a number of third-party framework suppliers.
The water company wants to hear from suppliers with Design & Build expertise, who have demonstrable experience in the monitoring and control (M&C ) area.
The framework will drive the delivery of new DS M&C infrastructure and its associated installation, commissioning, testing and handover back to operational sites, to required standards and timescales.
The scope and scale of the works will vary from simple ICA (Instrumentation, Control and Automation) installations through to large complex design and build projects. DS M&C scope of delivery will range from first time installation to the upgrade, development, integration and optimisation of existing M&C infrastructure.
Project values will range from up to £250K for small projects - where projects are of a large value and more complex, these will typically require multidiscipline delivery teams including minor civils works, and will typically, be over £250k and could be in excess of £1 million. The projects could be single site large-scale installation and will demand a high level of project management capability.
Typical projects will include:
- Single site complex projects such as replacing the control system infrastructure (multiple PLCs, site SCADA etc.) and managing the associated interfaces on a critical Water / Wastewater Treatment works.
- Large scale rollout across multiple sites of additional instrumentation including integration into each site’s control system and coordination of testing critical control changes across impacted sites
- Critical regulatory date driven projects where high levels of project management will be required to meet the commitments agreed with regulators
Capabilities the utility is looking for from suppliers include:
- Project Management - Designing for the Digital Landscape
- Agile Delivery Capability - Design of PLC/HMI solutions (design/install/commission)
- Programme & Resource Management - Design of SCADA solutions (design/install/commission)
- Engineering Resource provision - Design of Telemetry Solutions (design/install/commission)
- CDM Principal Designer & Principal Contractor Capability - Design of Industrial network solutions (design/install/commission)
- Experience of designing for cyber resilience
- Site Surveys - Reverse engineering software (legacy PLC’s)
- HAZOP Study Capability - SCADA 1st Time Installation
- Digital Technology Design and Integration - SCADA upgrades
- Design, installation and commissioning of instrumentation solutions - Process Control Optimisation
- Safety Instrumented Systems -Emerging Digital Technology and Innovation
