Thames Water has gone out to tender with a contract for sewage plant equipment contract worth an estimated £30 million.
The water company is looking to procure equipment for new aeration growth schemes –specifically, new fine bubble membrane diffuser (FBMD) and Aeration systems. The contract, which is being tendered in Lots, covers the supply of products and equipment and, where required, technical labour for the end to end process, from design to install and commissioning.
New aeration growth schemes are typically delivered by Thames Water’s alliance partners. Successful suppliers will be expected to work collaboratively with the alliance partners to deliver the most efficient and cost effective technical solutions.
Any initial agreement awarded would initially be for 3 years, with extension options for a further 5 years in total.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 30th April 2018 – click here to access the tender documentation.
