Yorkshire Water is inviting expressions of interest from suppliers for a future tender to provide planned/reactive/emergency repair and maintenance works to its wastewater network with an estimated value of £500 million.
The tender will be split into the following 3 Lots – the award of the tender will either be Lot 1 and 2 or Lot 3:
- Lot 1: Repair & Maintenance (£390.5 million)
- Lot 2: Lining Services (£159.5 million)
- Lot 3: Repair & Maintenance, inclusive of Lining Services (£500 million)
Lot 1 Repair & Maintenance will cover the comprehensive management of customer needs, including planning, scheduling, and street works management for maintaining and improving the wastewater network. This involves:
Responding to service failures with reactive measures to promptly restore services while mitigating impact to households and the environment.
Repairing or replacing assets such as sewers, rising/pumping mains, chambers, street furniture, and gullies.
Proactively maintaining and enhancing the sewer network through inspections, cleaning, trap removals, refurbishment, and replacement.
The lot will be divided into 3 geographical baskets with each basket evaluated and awarded separately.
Lot 2 Lining Services will cover comprehensive management of customer needs, including planning, scheduling, street works management and all enabling activities to conduct dedicated lining solutions on the wastewater network. This involves the capabilities to assess and implement the appropriate lining technology solution for the enhancement and longevity of the wastewater network on both a proactive and reactive basis.
This lot will likewise be divided into 3 geographical baskets with each basket evaluated and awarded separately.
Lot 3 Repair & Maintenance, inclusive of Lining Services, presents an alternative approach to addressing the maintenance and enhancement needs of the wastewater network by combining the activities encompassed in Lot 1 and Lot 2.
Yorkshire Water said this integrated solution provides a comprehensive framework for managing customer requirements, planning, scheduling, and executing maintenance and enhancement activities with a focus on both reactive and proactive measures.
Initial contract term is 5 years (60 months) – the water company will reserve the option to extend the contract by up to an additional 3 years (36 months), dependent on satisfactory contract performance of the appointed provider(s).
