What is being bought

Published requirement description

We require scaffolding services across the whole Thames Water region to provide safe access to assets so that TWUL and/or our contractors can carry out repair and maintenance activities.

We will have award to multiple suppliers where, if spend is under £4K or it is an emergency requirement (due to reactive nature of the work), one supplier will be appointed by direct award geographically (South London, North London and Thames Valley).

Any works deemed to be close to or exceed £4K will trigger a mini competition amongst all 3 suppliers.

We will award one supplier per area for sub-£4K works. Please note that regardless of what area you are successful in, you are required to bid and undertake work over £4K in any region.
