Lot #1Non-infrastructure MEICA Medium Project WorksCancelledRenewalceiling above

Non-infrastructure Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control & Automation systems project works including the refurbishment, replacement, and maintenance as described above in section ll.1.4

The work described in II.4.1 (Short Description) is Thames Water's Runway 1 (RW1). Thames Water has four runways:

RW0 is Small Project Work where works contracts are expected to typically be greater than £250k in value.

RW1 which is the subject of this procurement is intended to be used for Non-Infrastructure works with a values between £250k and £5m (but exceptionally works may fall outside those boundaries)

RW2 is Framework Agreement (Thames Wide and Geographic) which is for Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure works with a value ranging between £5m and £25m

RW3 is Major Projects for works with generally exceeding £25m

It is intended, but not guaranteed, that Thames Water will generally allocate works contracts with a value of up to £1.5m directly to the Framework Contractors, namely such contracts will be shared between the Framework Contractors without a mini-competition. There may however be some works contracts below that value which are more suitable for a mini-competition and there may be circumstances in which works contracts above that value are directly allocated.

The aggregate Value of Contracts directly allocated to each Framework Contractor over the Term is intended to be the same. Please refer to Appendix 9 (Call-Off Procedures) of the draft Framework Agreement for further information on the procedure for the allocation of works. Additional information: Whilst the intention is to use this Lot for projects which are predominately MEICA works, there may inevitably be an element of associated civils works.

Please note, the envisaged number of participants to lot 1 is 8.
