Steel Fabrications

NWL are looking to appoint suppliers to provide general steel fabrication services to support the delivery of the capital investment programme. Suppliers will ensure projects 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. Scope The steel fabrication services framework includes general steel fabrication and covers wide and diverse areas and asset bases including the following: • Operational Sites eg Sewage and Water Treatment Works, Pumping Stations, Reservoir Sites • Office and Laboratory Buildings (low probability of works on these sites but there may be an adhoc requirement) • Leisure Facilities eg Kielder and Hanningfield Reservoirs The main work disciplines/work types are general steel fabrication services including the design, supply, manufacture, fabrication, galvanising, delivery, offloading, distribution, placement, installation, site supervision and documentation associated with the below: • Ladders • Handrails • Spring loaded gates • Gantries • Steps • Open Mesh Flooring • Bespoke covers • Chequer plate covers • Toe plates • Platforms • Walkways • Companionways • Bespoke Louvres • Steelwork Access Platforms including Stairs • Pipe Supports • Pipe Bridges • GMS Chequer Plate Flooring • Handrailing and Kickplates • Wall Restraint Steelwork • Launder Trough and Hoppers • Pumping Station Access • Debris Screens • Stainless Steel Electrical Panel Boxes • Bespoke Fabrications to suit COPA Sac Installations • Stainless Steel Containment for Boreholes • MCC Support Steelwork • Bespoke Fabricated Pump Chamber/Tank As well as: • On site welding • On site burning • On site repairs to existing structures • On site modifications to existing structures This is not an exhausted list and other steel products not listed could be requested through the successful contractors. The works will be both planned and reactive (where immediate response is required e.g. due to H&S or Operational risks) and could impact upon customers both internally and externally. There are multiple stakeholders (including NWL maintenance, NWL Capital Delivery, Tier 1 Contract Partners etc) whom will not all have the same priorities so planning and co-ordinating workload will be key to the delivery of the framework. It is the intention that this framework will also be utilised by our Tier 1 Contractors where appropriate. Location Steel fabrications will be required across the Northumbrian Water Operating Area (NWL). Certification The Suppliers appointed to the framework must be a primary fabricator and installer (not a sub-contractor) and be certified to class 2 BS EN 1090 CE.
