Southern Water has launched an early market engagement exercise for new Aqua Lime Dosing Plant & Equipment Lime, together with a maintenance / servicing package for three Southern Water Sites.

The water company has issued a Periodic Indicative Notice with the aim of generating early market engagement and feedback – Southern Water has developed a set of questions and is inviting interested suppliers to submit responses to the questionnaire.

The utility said the engagement exercise will assist it in building an informed view of the external market and its expectations for successful and mutually beneficial contracting relationships.

The Design package (including software, mechanical and electronic drawings) will be supplied to enable the ongoing maintenance and development of the plant.

Outline Scope of Works covers:

• Supplier to provide an integrated lime dosing unit to supply liquid lime into the pipe work supplying the centrifuge feed pump.
• Scope to include supply, install and commissioning of all associated equipment and provision of a proposed service schedule - covering a period of a minimum of 10 years of operation.
• Full delivery, offload and facilitation with other on-site parties to allow electrical connectivity
• Site acceptance test, handover and maintenance provision.

Deadline for the return of the completed questionnaires is 29th July 2022 – click here to access the Periodic Indicative Notice
