United Utilities has gone out to tender with an AMP7 contract for Engineering, Programme Management & Commercial Resources services worth an estimated £16 million.
The water company already engages a strategic partner as an Engineering Service Provider (ESP), to provide engineering resources as required, and a Programme Management Office Service Provider (PMO) to provide programme management & commercial resources as required.
However, due to volume of requirements and capacity issues on occasion the ESP &/or PMO is unable to meet all of the company’s requirements.
United Utilities is now looking to put a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) in place which will be utilised to provide an alternative route to securing such requirements in the event of the ESP/PMO being unable to support a specific request or requirement.
