NI Water recently held an event with its local supply chain companies to reflect on the performance of its IF105 Capital Delivery Integrated Partnership Framework after around 2.5 years in operation.
IF105 framework contractors pictured with Sara Venning CEO of NI Water and Asset Delivery colleagues.
The major framework delivers key water and wastewater infrastructure and non-infrastructure works across Northern Ireland. The £1.7billion framework was awarded in May (Lot 1) and July (Lots 2 & 3) 2020 but did not have an official launch at the time due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Local companies on the IF105 framework are as follows:
Lot 1
- Deane Public Works
- AG Wilson
- BSG-Phace Group
- Civco
Lot 2
- BSG-AG Wilson Group
- Jacopa-Deane Group
- GEDA-WSI
- Lowry Building & Civil Engineering
Lot 3
- BSG Civil Engineering
- DLJ Water
- GEDA Construction
- John Graham Construction
- Murphy/Dawson Wam JV
- Glan-Agua Farrans JV
The framework will run for an initial four-year period, with the option to extend for a further four years and will help NI Water continue to deliver essential water and sewerage services for customers.
The water company says that the ability for NI Water and its supply chain to work closely together to increase collaboration is key to the success of the framework, in order to successfully deliver NI Water’s capital projects efficiently and on time.
