United Utilities has gone out to tender with an AMP7 contract process instrumentation support services worth an estimated £9.8 million.
The water company is releasing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to fulfil all its requirements relating to the 3rd party provision of Process Instrumentation Services across the United Utilities’ estate.
The utility operates an extensive range of asset types and manufacturers that requires a varied and flexible supply chain to support the company’s own staff in the event of a competency or capacity shortfall.
Scope of instrumentation services covered by the DPS includes servicing, repair, calibration, verification and commissioning.
United Utilities said the DPS has been selected to enable each scope of services to reflect the changing requirements of the business, selecting the most appropriate contractor for the specific work package by using targeted specifications.
The scope of each requirement may include any aspect of reactive repair or planned maintenance of instrumentation across the Company’s treatment facilities and will potentially include all instrument EGI classes and any form of maintenance.
In order to maximise the flexibility of the DPS, each contract awarded will vary in duration, ranging from a single scope of activity (e.g. 10 flowmeter calibrations at Ulpha WTW) up to 24 month ‘mini-frameworks’ (e.g. 24 month reactive repair of flowmeters in Wastewater North).
Initial contract term will run for a minimum of 3 years with annual optional extensions of up to 8 years.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 18 August 2022 – click here to access te tender documentation.
