Wessex Water has gone out to tender for its AMP6 civils & EMI capital delivery partners with a contract worth £350m for AMP6 and a further extension option for AMP7.
The utility is looking to appoint a maximum of 12 suppliers to the framework, which could run for up to 10 years and cover both the AMP6 2015-20 and AMP7 2020-25 periods. The estimated value for AMP6 is £350m - the value for the AMP7 period is not yet known.
Wessex Water is seeking Capital Delivery Partners to assist in the delivery of the Civils and Electrical, Mechanical & Instrumentation (EMI) elements of its capital investment and capital maintenance programme - with a greater emphasis on capital maintenance work than in previous AMP Programmes.
The works will include the construction of new assets and the refurbishment, modifications to and maintenance of existing assets associated with water and waste water treatment works and above and below ground distribution networks and infrastructure.
Following the success of Wessex Water’s AMP5 delivery process, elements of the contract will be procured under the NEC3 ECC Option C Target Cost contract conditions via the framework agreements.
Deadline for applicants to express their interest via Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) is 8th August 2014.
