FA08-32 Low Complexity MEICA

NWL are looking to appoint a number of Direct Delivery Partner(s) to help our Capital Delivery teams deliver short-cycle MEICA projects which are typically (but not always) lower complexity in nature, which will ensure they are being delivered in the most efficient manner, with a suitable and sustainable commercial model driving value for the business. NWL are always looking at how we can use innovation in both working methods and technology while striving to reduce our carbon footprint and we will expect any successful applicants to help us achieve this.

The framework will support maintenance, renewal, refurbishment and like-for-like replacement activities associated with NWL's above and below ground assets, including but not limited to:

Water treatment works

Wastewater treatment works

Reservoirs

Pumping stations

Inlets and outlets

Associated water and wastewater infrastructure

Projects will typically range from approximately £10,000 upwards, with the majority of requirements expected to be low-value, low-complexity schemes requiring responsive and flexible delivery partners. Works may be delivered independently or in partnership with NWL's in-house delivery teams and may include:

Planned and responsive maintenance activities

Refurbishment and renewal projects

Out-of-hours support services

"Gang-in-a-van" type delivery models

Bundled or batched projects of higher aggregate value but similar complexity

While the framework is intended primarily for specialist MEICA contractors, associated civil engineering works required to facilitate delivery will form part of the scope.

NWL reserves the right to award higher-value contracts to framework partners where contractors demonstrate successful performance on lower-complexity projects.
