The planned procurement is for water industry fittings, predominantly focused on mechanical fittings for purposes of connection and maintenance. The tender will be for the purpose of awarding tri-partite framework agreements with successful contractors and there will be multiple awarded contractors on each lot. The scope includes the design, manufacture, delivery to and off-loading at site, provision of drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, technical data sheets and factory test certification. The scope covers the supply and delivery of Mechanical Fittings for sizes ranging from 80mm – 1200mm (3 inch – 48 inch). The tender will contain five lots, each lot with specific core product ranges within to form a categorised lotting structure. The lotting structure is contained below: Lot 1 Mechanical Couplings & Connection Fittings Lot 2 Mechanical Repair & Maintenance Fittings Lot 3 Ferrules and Saddles Fittings Lot 4 Plastic Service Fittings Lot 5 Mechanical Bespoke and Fabricated Fittings

Mechanical Coupling and Connection Fittings The fittings types covered are detailed below: • Adapters • Couplings • Reducers / Step Couplings • Bushes • Under Pressure Tees • Flanges • Dismantling Joints
Mechanical Repair & Maintenance Fittings The fittings types covered are detailed below: • Repair Clamps & Taps • Encapsulation Collars • Hydrant Clamps
Ferrules and Saddles Fittings To include fixed and adjustable products, pipe saddles and ferrules shall be suitable for connecting service mains of copper or PE to distribution mains manufactured in the following materials and of various sizes, both metric and imperial: (a) PE 80 (e) asbestos cement (b) PE 100 (f) ductile iron (c) PVC-u (g) cast iron (d) PVC-A (h) PVC-O
Plastic Service Fittings The fittings types covered are service fittings such as nipples, bushes, spacers, adaptors, tees and elbows predominantly small sizes for the purposes of repair and swap outs. The fittings are required in Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP), bronze fittings will be deemed to be included under this lot but are expected to be a small element of.
Mechanical Bespoke and Fabricated Fittings The fittings type covered are bespoke products for the purposes of a specific need, usually for repair or overhaul work whereby an off-the-shelf product does not exist. This lot requires specific expertise from contractors who have the capability and capacity to assess, design and fabricate products rather than providing ready made products. This specification is for fabrication of mechanical pipe fittings, which has been issued to provide a universal series of requirements to procure mechanical fittings for both clean water and wastewater contracts. It will provide a fast and efficient fabrication service for mechanical fittings whose outside diameters may fall outside British Standard sizes. The service shall be required to be available 24 hours per day, 365 days per annum.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Gunmetal pipe fittings (35341100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 35 | 1,014 | 3 median · 40.6 average (270 of 1,014 with a bid count) | 4 average (290 of 1,014 with named award suppliers) | Not published |

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.

This lot requires specific expertise from contractors who have the capability and capacity to assess, design and fabricate products rather than providing ready made products. This specification is for fabrication of mechanical pipe fittings, which has been issued to provide a universal series of requirements to procure mechanical fittings for both clean water and wastewater contracts. It will provide a fast and efficient fabrication service for mechanical fittings whose outside diameters may fall outside British Standard sizes. The service shall be required to be available 24 hours per day, 365 days per annum.",
