Authority: NORTHUMBRIAN WATER LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought6 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionNWL 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

The successful bidders will also need to comply with the below (list not exhaustive):
- Health and Safety: CDM (including PC and PD competency which would be subject to successful contractors passing CDM competency assessment- Failure to pass would potentially result in the offer of a Framework Agreement to be rescinded.), Process Safety, Health Safety and Wellbeing
- Feasibility and design where appropriate
- NWL's Engineering Specifications
- Civil Engineering Specification for the Water Industry (CESW) (latest edition)
- MEICA Asset Standards
- Electrical Contractor Competency Requirements
- How the procedure runs: Stage 1: Invitation to participate and conditions of participation Stage 1 commenced with the issuing of a Tender Notice and the publication of this document. This document includes a conditions of participation questionnaire (COP) which all suppliers are required to complete and return in accordance with the procurement timetable and instructions within this document. NWL will use this stage to confirm that neither the supplier, nor any related persons within its corporate group, associated persons relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office debarment list. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the debarment list, NWL will consider whether to exclude the supplier from participating in this procurement in accordance with its obligations under the Act. NWL will also undertake a review of the completed COP with reference to any information held on the Central Digital Platform. Responses to any conditions of participation will be assessed in accordance with the selection process and any criteria as set out in the tender notice and described in this document. The assessment of these responses will identify the top 8 suppliers per lot to be invited to participate in Stage 2. Stage 1 will complete with suppliers being notified in writing of whether or not they have been successfully shortlisted to participate in Stage 2. Suppliers not invited to stage 2 will be provided with a written explanation of the reasons why they have not been shortlisted to participate in Stage 2. Suppliers should note that NWL reserves the right to re-assess any response to the conditions of participation at any stage of this procurement, including in light of any new relevant information that comes to NWL's attention. Stage 2: Invitation to submit initial tenders Stage 2 will commence with the notification, inviting those suppliers which have successfully been shortlisted at stage 1 of this procurement to submit initial tenders. The notification will also provide details of any new information made available to suppliers at this stage of this procurement. Initial tenders must be submitted in accordance with the procurement timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided. Following the deadline for submission of initial tenders, NWL will assess initial tenders in accordance with the assessment process and award criteria set out in the tender notice and described in this document. The assessment process will identify which suppliers are to be selected to participate in the negotiation/dialogue stage as set out in Stage 3. Once the assessment of initial tenders has concluded, suppliers will be notified in writing whether they have successfully been invited to stage 3. Any suppliers not invited to participate in stage 3 will be provided with reasons in writing to explain why they have not been successful. Stage 3: Invitation to participate in dialogue [and/or negotiate] Stage 3 will commence with the notification inviting suppliers that have successfully passed stage 2 to attend one or more dialogue and/or negotiation meetings. The notification will also provide details of any new information made available to suppliers at this stage in this procurement. The notification will also describe how the dialogue and/or negotiations will be conducted, including the location and dates for the relevant meetings, as well as the attendee arrangements. Stage 4: Invitation to submit a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Stage 4 will commence with the issuing of a letter inviting suppliers that have been successfully shortlisted at stage 3 to submit their Best and Final Offer. Best and Final offers must be submitted in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided. After the deadline for submission of best and final offers, NWL will reconsider, in respect of each supplier that submitted, whether the supplier or any related persons within its corporate group, associated suppliers relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors, are excluded or excludable suppliers and will consider whether to disregard the best and final offer submitted in accordance with its obligations under the Act. If the supplier is an excluded or excludable supplier only by virtue of an associated supplier or proposed sub-contractor, NWL will notify the supplier of its intention to disregard its tender and provide the supplier with a reasonable opportunity to replace the associated supplier or sub-contractor. If as a consequence of this process NWL disregards a tender from an excluded or excludable supplier or is aware of an associated supplier or subcontractor having been replaced, it will give notice of this fact within 30 days of its decision to the Procurement Review Unit (PRU) NWL will conduct an assessment of all Best and Final offers in order to identify the supplier which has submitted the most advantageous tender in accordance with the assessment methodology and award criteria set out in the tender notice and described in this document. In carrying out this assessment, NWL will disregard any final tender from a supplier who does not satisfy the conditions of participation. Once the assessment has concluded, NWL will provide an assessment summary to all suppliers that submitted Best and Final Offers to: a. inform them whether they have been successful in being awarded the contract b. provide an explanation of the assessment of the supplier's tender against the relevant award criteria, in accordance with the requirements of the Act c. where different to the supplier concerned, provide information in respect of the most advantageous tender submitted, including details of the assessment of this tender against the relevant award criteria and the supplier's name Once the assessment summaries have been provided to the suppliers that submitted Best and Final offers NWL will also publish a contract award notice on the Central Digital Platform to commence the mandatory standstill period. Subject to completion of the mandatory standstill period, stage 4 will end with NWL entering into preferred supplier stage with the preferred supplier. Stage 4 will end with NWL entering into the contract with the preferred supplier

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

- How it runs
Stage 1: Invitation to participate and conditions of participation
Stage 1 commenced with the issuing of a Tender Notice and the publication of this document.
This document includes a conditions of participation questionnaire (COP) which all suppliers are required to complete and return in accordance with the procurement timetable and instructions within this document.
NWL will use this stage to confirm that neither the supplier, nor any related persons within its corporate group, associated persons relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office debarment list. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the debarment list, NWL will consider whether to exclude the supplier from participating in this procurement in accordance with its obligations under the Act.
NWL will also undertake a review of the completed COP with reference to any information held on the Central Digital Platform. Responses to any conditions of participation will be assessed in accordance with the selection process and any criteria as set out in the tender notice and described in this document. The assessment of these responses will identify the top 8 suppliers per lot to be invited to participate in Stage 2.
Stage 1 will complete with suppliers being notified in writing of whether or not they have been successfully shortlisted to participate in Stage 2. Suppliers not invited to stage 2 will be provided with a written explanation of the reasons why they have not been shortlisted to participate in Stage 2.
Suppliers should note that NWL reserves the right to re-assess any response to the conditions of participation at any stage of this procurement, including in light of any new relevant information that comes to NWL's attention.
Stage 2: Invitation to submit initial tenders
Stage 2 will commence with the notification, inviting those suppliers which have successfully been shortlisted at stage 1 of this procurement to submit initial tenders.
The notification will also provide details of any new information made available to suppliers at this stage of this procurement.
Initial tenders must be submitted in accordance with the procurement timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided.
Following the deadline for submission of initial tenders, NWL will assess initial tenders in accordance with the assessment process and award criteria set out in the tender notice and described in this document. The assessment process will identify which suppliers are to be selected to participate in the negotiation/dialogue stage as set out in Stage 3.
Once the assessment of initial tenders has concluded, suppliers will be notified in writing whether they have successfully been invited to stage 3. Any suppliers not invited to participate in stage 3 will be provided with reasons in writing to explain why they have not been successful.
Stage 3: Invitation to participate in dialogue [and/or negotiate]
Stage 3 will commence with the notification inviting suppliers that have successfully passed stage 2 to attend one or more dialogue and/or negotiation meetings.
The notification will also provide details of any new information made available to suppliers at this stage in this procurement.
The notification will also describe how the dialogue and/or negotiations will be conducted, including the location and dates for the relevant meetings, as well as the attendee arrangements.
Stage 4: Invitation to submit a Best and Final Offer (BAFO)
Stage 4 will commence with the issuing of a letter inviting suppliers that have been successfully shortlisted at stage 3 to submit their Best and Final Offer.
Best and Final offers must be submitted in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided.
After the deadline for submission of best and final offers, NWL will reconsider, in respect of each supplier that submitted, whether the supplier or any related persons within its corporate group, associated suppliers relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors, are excluded or excludable suppliers and will consider whether to disregard the best and final offer submitted in accordance with its obligations under the Act. If the supplier is an excluded or excludable supplier only by virtue of an associated supplier or proposed sub-contractor, NWL will notify the supplier of its intention to disregard its tender and provide the supplier with a reasonable opportunity to replace the associated supplier or sub-contractor. If as a consequence of this process NWL disregards a tender from an excluded or excludable supplier or is aware of an associated supplier or subcontractor having been replaced, it will give notice of this fact within 30 days of its decision to the Procurement Review Unit (PRU)
NWL will conduct an assessment of all Best and Final offers in order to identify the supplier which has submitted the most advantageous tender in accordance with the assessment methodology and award criteria set out in the tender notice and described in this document. In carrying out this assessment, NWL will disregard any final tender from a supplier who does not satisfy the conditions of participation.
Once the assessment has concluded, NWL will provide an assessment summary to all suppliers that submitted Best and Final Offers to:
a. inform them whether they have been successful in being awarded the contract
b. provide an explanation of the assessment of the supplier's tender against the relevant award criteria, in accordance with the requirements of the Act
c. where different to the supplier concerned, provide information in respect of the most advantageous tender submitted, including details of the assessment of this tender against the relevant award criteria and the supplier's name
Once the assessment summaries have been provided to the suppliers that submitted Best and Final offers NWL will also publish a contract award notice on the Central Digital Platform to commence the mandatory standstill period.
Subject to completion of the mandatory standstill period, stage 4 will end with NWL entering into preferred supplier stage with the preferred supplier.
Stage 4 will end with NWL entering into the contract with the preferred supplier
