What is being bought
Southern Water Services are seeking to establish a framework panel whom have the expertise to support the companies ambitions.
SWS are seeking business management consultancy & related professional services expertise in, but not limited to: Regulatory Advice, Regulatory Economic Advisory and Modelling, Procurement and Commercial, General Tax, Financial Services, Strategy & Change
All services provided under this framework agreement are to be structured in a manner that is outside the scope of IR35 legislation. The service providers remain responsible for compliance with all relevant tax and employment regulations
SWS will retain the right to compete work outside the pool of pre-qualified service providers (via Procurement Act 2023 process or otherwise) in its discretion (e.g. where the pre-qualified service providers do not have specialist capability to deliver the consultancy services required by SWS or the price secured within the pool is not judged by SWS to be market competitive).
Indicative lot values per annum :
Lot 1a Regulatory Advice £1.4m
Lot 1b Regulatory Economic Advisory and Modelling £1m
Lot 2 Procurement & Commercial £3m
Lot 3a General Tax £400k
Lot 3b Financial Services £1m
Lot 4 Strategy & Change £10m
Whilst these values reflect the best estimate, Tenderers should be aware that we may see peaks in demand that are much higher than the indicated values per annum and there will be some years it’s much lower.
These values may be subject to change due to potential future regulatory or policy changes
